WELCOME BACK!

If you're like me, you're probably wondering where summer went and how it rolled by so quickly. Happens every year, doesn't it? Yet winter seems to go on forever! But even though summer is drawing to an end, we are so lucky to have the time off to rest, go places, hang out with friends and family, and have fun! It is time, however, to gear up for a new school year.

I'm sure that my fifth-graders marching into sixth are a little nervous.....that's totally understandable, and pretty much how it should be. It's a nervous excitement, right? I know you will miss Moreland, but once you settle into life at middle school, you will love it! Somehow when you get there, everything will fall into place.....things click. So face this new part of your life with confidence because you're ready to be there. And when you see me outside on my recess duty days, please come over and say hello, or at least wave to me, okay???

I'm very excited to meet my new class. Right now I have 20 kids on my roster, but that number could always change, and usually does! The room is pretty much set up with a few things left for me to still do. The "Advice Poster" is hanging up and ready for viewing. I didn't change too much in the room, but I think it looks pretty good. Rumor is we're getting new computers in each classroom. Hopefully this is more than a rumor! Like I've told you many times, please remember to pop over every once in awhile and visit.

Well, that's about it for now. I hope each of you has a wonderful and productive year. Remember, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, so study hard, learn a lot, make new friends, and have fun! See you soon!
