Week 2 – September 11, 2023
“Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” – Dalai Lama
We are having a great start to the new year, and we are beginning to establish our routines. The children are working so cooperatively together! It is a wonderful class and I am looking forward to a fantastic school year.
Back to School Night is on Tuesday, September 19th. I am hoping to see everyone there because I will be going over important information regarding the school year.
Please make sure that your child comes to school each day with a fully charged chromebook. Also, please do not change the password on your child’s Trinity student account or any other account that is setup by the school. At this grade level, I occasionally go in their accounts to help them. I truly appreciate your cooperation on this.
Students should bring a healthy snack to school, as well as a water bottle.
Below is a brief synopsis on some of the things we will be covering this week. We will be going slow in the beginning of the year, and gradually we will pick up the pace.
