Welcome Back to School!

     I am so excited about the start of the 2011-2012 school year!  I spent a lot of time this summer planning activities, choosing novels to read, and thinking about the possibilities we have as we start a brand new school year together.  I hope you are excited about the start of your fifth grade year as well.  Together we are going to have lots of fun exploring new novels, becoming better readers, and learning about our country.

     Our classroom blog is an opportunity for you, me, and your classmates to communicate about topics we discuss at school.  We can use our blog to discuss things we are reading, knowledge we are learning, or just to discuss what is happening in our classroom.  Communicating with one another will help us learn. My only requirement is that all posts remain respectful.

     I look forward to spending time with you and learning with you this school year.  Let's make the 2011-2012 school year the best you have ever had!
