I know this is short notice but this was announced while I was gone.  Any 6th grade student interested in running for class representative for our class should prepare a short speech about why they would be the best person to be our class representative.  We will have class elections on Friday.

Class representative will attend student council meetings during their lunch period.  They will be part of the decision making process for activities and service projects that affect our entire school.

Since this is short notice, I will notify all students in class tomorrow and give them until Friday to prepare a speech.  If students are prepared with speeches tomorrow they will be able to present them.

Many, many thanks to my awesome students for their exceptional behavior while I was gone.  I received a glowing report from Mrs. Lineham about her 3 days subbing for me.  The students will be rewarded on Wednesday with a special treat from me.

We are finished with ERB testing and now will complete a few assessments that are specific to the 5/6 team.  Any student who missed any section of the ERBs will have the opportunity to make these up this Friday.  We are also doing some fun team building and getting to know each other games and activities in between testing. 

The students are working on a newspaper all about themselves this week.  There is a place on the paper for each student to attach their photograph.  Please send in a photo of your child to attach to the newspaper.  It can either be a recent photo or one from their past.  These will be on display in the hallway on the bulletin board outside our classroom when they are completed.

Monday folders came home for the first time yesterday. ...

Welcome to an exciting new school year.  It was great to see so many of you at meet the teacher night.  I am excited to start with students on Tuesday. 

I will be gone from school Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week.  I am leaving my students in the very capable hands of Mrs. Meg Lineham.  I really hate to be gone at the beginning of the school year and usually do not miss many school days during the year.

I am traveling back east with my entire family.  We are going to witness my brother get married on Aug. 22nd.  He is 48 years old and for just that long has told everyone he was a confirmed batchelor.  He met a wonderful woman who had the amazing ability to change his mind, and those batchelor days didn't look so appealing anymore.  He is my only sibling and I just couldn't bear to miss such a monumental occasion.

I will be back in the classroom on Aug 25th with my students.  If you need to contact me you can call the school at 303 450-3936 x 205.  Leave me a message and I will...
