Welcome to Room 120 for the 2012-2013 school year. I hope you've had a great summer and are as excited to start as I am!
Please note: if you formerly had a student in my room and are still receiving email updates, this post is not intended to communicate your current third grader has been assigned to my class. You will receive a Welcome Postcard Saturday or Monday telling you your student's teacher assignment for the 2012-2013 school year. My apologies for any confusion.
Please plan to introduce yourself at our upcoming Back To School Night (see below for date and time). I'm looking forward to meeting all of you. Get a good night's rest and have a big breakfast to prepare for our first day together.

You have a little homework before school starts. Please choose a book to bring on our first day that you would like to start or continue reading. Your only other homework is to bring lots of questions and prepare to try!
We will have specials each day this year. We do not have specials on the first day of school. You will need athletic shoes on all gym days and should plan to leave an art smock in your locker. Our special areas schedule is:
A Days - Gym 12:10-12:45
