Week 1: A New Beginning

The first week of school has been a huge success. I am very impressed by your children! They are so smart!!!
A couple of updates:

  1. I will start sending spelling homework home on Monday. We will have a pretest on Thursday. If they get 100% they will not have to take the test on Friday. 
  2. I am starting some tutoring for those who need a little help in math. E-mail me personally if you feel your child could use the tutoring time. 
  3. Those of you who signed up to help in the classroom, I will call you shortly to let you know that we are finally ready for you. 
  4. No school next Monday for Labor Day!
Thank you for all of your support. I am truly amazed by the parent involvement at Thomas Edison. It makes a huge difference in your child's education. Thank you!!! 
Have a great week.
