Happy Weekend!

We had such a great time the past two days. We spend a lot of time getting to know the classroom and expectations, getting to know each other, getting chromebooks, playing with stem bins and having fun. Next week we will dive into our curriculum. Please check here each night for an update on homework. Students are expected to write down their homework in their assignment notebooks, too. Please remember to charge the chromebooks before coming to school each day. Students may also bring a snack to school. Last of all, please make sure to have students bring water bottles. The water fountains are set up to fill water bottles only, students may not drink from them. Have a wonderful weekend and I look forward to Monday!
