Before School Happenings

Greetings, new Third Graders! I am busy working in my room this week, getting things ready for our start to the school year. I hope by now, you have received my welcome postcard. Make note of our night time registration next Thursday, August 2nd at 5:30-7:00 pm in the HLOE gym. We will have all forms ready for your parents to fill out, along with opportunities to pay school fees and purchase lunch accounts for the upcoming year. As many of you know, tomorrow is the start of the 2012 London Summer Olympics and that will be our class theme to start off our year! I have been busy decorating a special board in our room with Olympic pictures and sports information for us to view. The Games will go on through August 12th, so we will have a chance to report on our favorite events when we all come together on the 9th. You can also contribute to our bulletin board by bringing in favorite clippings from websites, magazines, or newspapers of what you have been watching concerning the Olympic Games. If you would like to follow all the exciting events for the next 3 weeks, I have included a website that is full of photos, videos and a schedule of the day to day sporting activities. www.london2012.com/

Slowly winding down from a hot, but fun summer! I'm heading to my classroom every few days to begin cleaning up and decorating my room for the first day of school! Below are some vacation pictures from our family trip to Orange Beach, Alabama. Can't wait to hear about all my new students' summer adventures.
