School Starts Soon!

It's already August.....hard to believe!  It seems as though it was yesterday that I was saying goodbye to my students that I had taught for two years.  Now I'm looking forward to a new group of 5th graders.  Our time together will begin on August 27th....only 24 days.  All the teachers will come back to work on August 20th.

This weekend is the annual tax-free weekend in NC, so this might be a good time to do some back-to-school shopping for clothes and supplies.

If you are like me and don't care to get mixed up in the crazy crowds of shoppers, you can wait until Open House to get the supply list from me. Many stores have good sales other than this weekend as the start of school approaches. There are a few things on the generic list that I do not use in my classroom.  According to the district's web page, Elementary School Open House will be August 23rd from 5:30pm - 7:30 pm.
