Welcome back to a new school year. I am so happy to have your children in my class. I know that we are going to have a great year. We have had a busy week so far making our class rules, reading books, writing, and beginning some assessments that are allowing me to understand your child so that I can help them.
If you haven't turned in your papers that were sent home Monday in the Cobb County folders, please return them as soon as possible.
Also, our classroom tends to be cold, so you might want to send in a jacket or sweater that they can wear.
Thank you for all that you do!
