Welcome back to a new week!

REMINDERS

1) If you haven't registered for the new Shutterfly website, please do so this week.  Again, if I don't have enough participants from the classroom, I won't spend the time keeping it updated.  This site is a great way for YOU all to share photos, information, keep up to date with everything that's going on.  You can even order photos that are on the site directly from Shutterfly.  Let's really generate a well informed and communicative classroom.

2) I'm sending home the Unit 1 Theme Language Arts assessment that your children completed last week.  Please be sure to sign it and return tomorrow.  Thank you.

You know what this means?  One more day until FRIDAY!!!

Reminders:  Don't forget to register for the new Shutterfly website for Room 32 and check it out.  All the 5th grade parents should have received an email inviting them to sign up.  If you don't think it's worth maintaining and keeping up to date, then I won't spend the time.  I, however, really think it's a great place to share news and information - better organized than just having this blog.  Please let me know what you think.
