We had such a wonderful first week together. I believe that we are all settling in and learning the routines and expectations of our classroom. I am so excited to watch these students soar this year.
Thank you to those of you who have turned in all Cobb County paperwork as well as my parent packet. My goal is to have all forms back by Friday, August 11th. Please let me know if you need any extra copies of the forms. Thank you for your cooperation with this!
Below you will find an outline of the standards and topics we will be covering in class this week. Please be sure to check and initial the agenda every night and that your child is reading each evening. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions! :)
