Well, first day back in the classroom and I forgot to do the blog!  It hit me last night as I was doing homework for today!  I am very happy to be back in the room full time!  I missed the kids so much.  Thank you all for being supportive of Mrs. Wilkins while she spent her time with us.  She loves Fairfield and really loves the kids.  It is not easy to have a student teacher, but it is rewarding. Mrs. Wilkins was my 5th student teacher.  Hosting a student teacher makes me reflect on my teaching practices and ask myself if I am using best and current practices.

Homework and Classwork:
Math-sheet 50
Reading-Log and any comprehension packets
Social Studies-CNN, due Thursday (the students did not get back last week's CNN)
Writing-Narrative, 1st draft is due on Friday by the end of Language Arts.

• All homework and classwork is to be done by Friday at 12:30.  From 12:30 to 2:30 the middle school is having a reward afternoon.  We do this once a month for students who consistently get their work done on time.  My room will be the work room.  Any student who owes work will work on it during this time.  If a student is sent out of the room to Ms. Rolla's on Friday then he or she may not participate.

Students share their work with the rest of the class.  

Reminders:

• This Friday is the last gaming morning.  If your child has not brought in the $2.00 please send it in this week.  Also, there were some students who did not bring back the permission slip. There is still time to send it in for Friday morning.
• k-5 concert is tonight and Middle School is tomorrow night.  Jazz band, band, and chorus will participate.
