Welcome Back!
We are busy getting to know each other in a fun and full
classroom of 34 students! We have a few changes this year due to our new
standards.
Each 4th grader will stay in my classroom for the 1 hour and
10 minutes of math. The 5th graders will either go to Mr. Kavanagh or to Ms.
Gross. We will start math groups next Tuesday, September 17th.
We will also start switching our kids for Social Studies and Science on the
23rd. Our classroom will get Science on Thursday and Friday from Mr. Kavanagh
who is an expert in Science and loves hands on assignments and outside
learning. I will be the Social Studies teacher who has a passion for History
and Culture.
Right now we are assessing each child for their reading ability and what
can be worked on for this school year. This is a long process and will take
another couple of weeks. Then, we will start our regular reading stations
within our classroom.
Great News!! I wrote a grant this summer for classroom magazines and it
was funded! Each student will get a Time for Kids and Current Events magazine
weekly for the entire school year. I'm also on Donors Choose currently for
another social studies project. Please look below at the site and grant details
if you ever want to help our classroom!
Subject: My students need your help!
Hi Friends,
I want to make sure my students have the materials they need to succeed. So I've created a classroom project request at DonorsChoose.org, an award-winning charity.
I'm asking for donations of any size to help my kids. For the next four days, any donation you make to my project will be doubled (up to $100). If you know anyone who is passionate about education, please pass this along. Your donation will brighten my students' school year, and you'll get photos and thank yous from our class.
Here's my classroom request:

To have your donation matched dollar for dollar, enter the match code INSPIRE on the payment screen. This awesome match offer lasts through September 15.
My students and I greatly appreciate your support.
