What a terrific first day in Grade 5TH!!  I had so much fun with my students and was glad that I could finally put a face to the names that I have been working with the past week.   Today we sifted through our school supplies and organized student desks.  I want to apologize for having you buy a zipper binder that my class does not need, but please realize that these binders will not go to waste as they can be used in middle school next year.    Also, I sent home any extra school supplies that you might have sent in with your child that they will not use this year as I am trying to keep unnecessary items in my classroom to a minimum.  We are limited in our storage space and it is hard for the students to find their work in cluttered desks.   I am very excited to spend the rest of the school year with this super class, and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
