Tomorrow will be two weeks into the school year already!  The kids and teachers are getting into a routine and we are moving forward with our school goals.  It is so awe inspiring to get to know the kids and their personalities.  As they become more comfortable with the new faces and ideas at school, they are beginning to come alive and are eager to learn. 

Yesterday, a 3rd grade student brought a wonderful idea to me -- she wants to start a book club at school!  We met today to plan how we would do it and in the next few weeks, we will implement it!  If anyone knows of funds available for a book club, please let me know.  We will be working with the public library as well, but it would be nice to be able to give each student involved a copy of the book to keep.

Thanks to everyone for giving your time, treasures and talents to SMS! 

First day!

We had a GOLDEN first day of school today!  Thanks to all the parents and teachers who helped made this first day successful.  One student told me, "This was the best first day ever!"  That is so nice to hear.  Another said, "What are we going to do next year?"  I am not sure, but it will be something fun!

We had a few crying students (and parents) a few scraped knees and some ketchup on shirts today, but all in all, it was very successful.

Thank you all for trusting us with your children.  I am looking forward to an amazing year!
