Welcome

Dear 5V students,

I cannot believe that summer is almost over and we will be back to school on Monday, August 29^th.  This summer seemed to fly by!  I spent the majority of my summer traveling across the country with a friend.  We packed up a car and spent a month on the road.  I had many great adventures and I’m excited to share all of the amazing places I’ve been.  Some of my favorites were the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. 

I hope your summer was fabulous and I can’t wait to hear all about it.  I am very excited about our year together and I am looking forward to getting to know you.  Please plan on wearing or bringing sneakers for the first few days of school.  We will be playing some outdoor games to have fun and to get to know each other. 

You do have a homework assignment for the first day.  Bring in the best book you have read this summer.  Make sure it is one that you can leave in the classroom for a week or two.  I will also be asking you to bring in a summer memory after Labor Day, so you can be thinking about that. It can be a photo or a souvenir.

I hope you are enjoying your last few days of summer vacation and you are looking forward to starting school.
