We are off and running in a new school year! With one week down, your students have been busy getting back into the routine of school.

Welcome back to another school year! It's hard to believe how fast the summer flew by and now it's time to get back in the classroom. Time to put those new supplies to work and start the new year off on the right foot.
I hope everyone enjoyed their vacation. I spent a week in Florida enjoying the beach and sunsets. Many of my days were spent running my daughter to various activities- teeball/soccer, gymnastics, parks, zoo, etc. This school year we will continue to incorporate the common core math standards. We will work hard to learn the new standards in preparation of the new PARCC tests in the spring. Along the way we'll find time to do some projects and continue to improve our critical thinking skills. Let's get off to a new, fresh start and make the 2014-15 year one to remember!!! Welcome back!
