Our Fabulous First Day!

Our day started with all 42 students (20 Kirkham/22 Remley) present and on time! :-) After dropping off school supplies, we got right into our warm-up, which was getting started on our Me By The Numbers Project (students will finish their poster for homework and return to class Friday). We set up our S.T.A.R. (Students Taking Academic Responsibility) Notebooks, went over CHAMPs and conduct expectations, toured the classroom and school, started this week's Daily Geography for social studies, and even got into math workshop. We even made it outside for recess until the rain came! We hope your first day was as successful as we thought it was. What was your favorite part? (We love to read your comments, so please talk with your student, and post them below!)

Welcome!

This year will be my ninth year teaching third grade at our school, and I am super excited to be teaming with Ms. Kirkham for the first time. We go all the way back to 2005 when she taught third grade for a few years. For your enjoyment, here are a few blasts from our past: The Recess Queen and Goldilocks, Book Character Dress-Up Day, 2005
Faculty Christmas Party, 2006
