Wednesday, Sept 9th: The First Day of School

Hello! 

Considering we have been away from school and school routines for nearly 6 months and absolutely EVERYTHING has changed at school, the students had an amazing first day! I was impressed by how well each and every one of them listened to each other and their teachers.  We will spend this week getting used to new routines and systems and getting to know each other. Since you are reading this, there is a good chance you have already read the notes in your child's new agenda! If you are already subscribing to the blog and that is the reason why you are reading this, make sure you read your child's agenda.  Their task tonight is to look at the blog together with you and take you on a tour of the classroom (using the photos below as prompts).  They should be able to explain to you the routines both within the classroom, the hallway, out on the yard, etc.  An important part of your job tonight is to click on the 'follow by email' icon on the right side of the screen in order to sign up for blog updates. Please remember that you will be sent an email and you must open the email and confirm that you would like to receive updates....it is a 2 step process. Be sure to check your junk folder too as sometimes the confirmation email goes there... 

Breathe a sigh of relief. Your child (and you!) survived the first day of school! Please remember to ask them all about their day. I am sure they will be very tired.  I am so happy to be teaching your child this year.
