School has Begun

We have a few days under our belt now. The kids have met their teachers and have a feel for their classes. We are starting to gel as a class, and getting some lessons underway. I am very excited about what I have seen so far. The kids in 4 Awesome A are a nice, bright, and enthusiastic bunch as a whole. I think we will have a great year!
The students have had some positive comments about the tables and cubbies, which do take some getting used to. It is harder to stay organized or keep to yourself, but they offer a lot of work space and flexibility.
We expect the kids to be a little more responsible for their own materials and homework. They should write down their homework in their agendas and ask for your signatures. I check them over in the morning for notes, reading and work completion.

I hope you had a chance to read over all of the information we sent home on the first day. My school email is the best way to get in touch with me. Let me know if this blog is useful to you. If I know it is being read, I will be sure to keep it up-to-date.

We had a bus inservice given by Mr. Gierach. The kids all scored quite well on the test, so we can be sure they know the rules and hope they follow them!
