Greetings to all,

With weather like today, it is hard to believe that summer is officially over! This past week flew by. Most have settled in and those new procedures are fast becoming routines. I hope all my students brought home the weekly newsletter on Friday. Check those backpacks! It is loaded with information.

We were introduced to Ms. Spinelli's smart board this week. IMPRESSIVE!!!!!! She invited our class and Mrs. Packard's to join her in a presentation on the Abenaki Indians. The children loved the interaction. This set the stage for our prep work on Native Americans of New Hampshire for our field trip on Monday to the Mt. Kearsarge Native American Museum in Warner, NH. This is a fun excursion always enjoyed by all.

FYI... the PFT ice cream social is Tuesday evening and class pictures are on Thursday.

Mrs. Pyszka visited our room this week to discuss behavior expectations. Fourth graders were reminded that they are the school's role models. They are doing a great job so far!!!!!!

Until next time... Have a great week. I know we will!!!!!

Greetings to all,

Thank you parents for attending Parent Information Night last Thursday. It was wonderful meeting you. I am looking forward to a great partnership with you for the 2011 - 2012 school year. As I stated cooperation is spelled W-E. Together we share a common goal - your child. For those that were unable to attend we touched upon the schedule for a given day, Rotation, and homework expectations to mention a few topics. I will review much of this in my weekly newsletters over the next few weeks. Hardcopies will be sent home to all on Fridays. Please take the time to read these and discuss the contents with your child. Please feel free to contact me at anytime by phone or email. My door is always open. Until next time... Mrs. Prive
