We had an amazing beginning to our new school year. Despite the oppressive heat, the children are settling in nicely. Thus far they have gone to three of their specials: library, physical education and music. On Monday they will go to art. Monday thru Thursdays our specials begin at 2:30pm, and on Friday the children have Music at 1:45pm and Choir at 2:30pm. Having consistently scheduled specials makes it much easier for me to remember!!
This morning we attended the "Welcome Back" assembly followed by our first meeting with our second grade buddies. This year we will be working with Mrs. Gentile's class. Also, Mrs. Doemel joined us before lunch to talk about our new science and social studies programs. We will begin changing classes for science, social studies and math on Monday.
Next Thursday night, September 15th, is our Open House. You will begin by coming to Room 10 where I will talk about our classroom and my expectations. It will be followed by a 15-minute visit with your child's math teacher. Finally we will all meet in the cafeteria for a science program overview and Nature's Classroom presentation. I look forward to meeting all of you on Thursday evening.
I am attaching the first of many pictures I will take over the course of the school year. Some of them didn't come out as well as I would have liked because of the intense sun. But at least you will have a glimpse into your child's first day in fifth grade.
Take care,
Lester Betor & class
