Happy Labor Day everyone. I hope you are all enjoying the unofficial last long weekend of the summer. I went to Boston yesterday and spent Saturday at Canobie Lake.
This week we will try to get into a more regular routine with our school day. The first three days last week, we spent a lot of time getting to know each other and going over all the rules and protocols for the new school year. Remember that all the important news or "blasts" during the week will come through Bloomz. Please utilize that app to contact me and I will try to get right back to you. It's a great mode of communication, especially when you have an after thought or need a change of plans. We will have a Back To School Night on September 21. I can't wait to meet all of you. This will be for adults only and I will go over all the rules and expectations for the year. We have a new class name. I think Mr. Mud's Dunking Doughnuts is very appropriate. I am never without a DD coffee and I get the kids munchkins every Friday. LOL! We will be talking about the Booster Fun Run that the PTA is sponsoring this month. There will be information coming home as to how you can participate. It really sounds like fun and the kids are going to love it. On Tuesday, we will be starting our reading program. Wonders is the name of the program and the kids are all familiar with it. We will work with the program every week and that is where the spelling words will come from. Every Friday, we will have a comprehension test and a vocabulary test on the main story. In the next couple of weeks Wonders will be set up on the computer and the kids will be able to access it at home. The new spelling words will be listed on this website on the spelling page every Sunday. We will also be starting Reading Counts this week. When the kids complete five passed quizzes in a row, they earn a prize. Our morning work routine will usually include a math paper, an oral language paper, a spelling assignment, and a Grow paper which entails kids reading maps and researching different things in Social Studies. Our first hour in the morning is usually independent work time. The kids will also be starting their journal writing. This is a passion of mine. They will write in their journals daily. You will want to save these for years to come. Our first Wonders story in reading this week will be "Wolf". The genre is fantasy. We will also be starting the Everyday math program. We will be concentrating on subtraction facts and addition facts. It is also never too late to start memorizing those multiplication facts! Have a great rest of the day everyone. Remember if you have any questions, you can text me through Bloomz. Enjoy the beautiful weather. I see leaves changing already up here on the Mud Hill. I will see everyone tomorrow morning.

I Believe...Let the kids be kids. Every child has a strength. It is up to the teacher to find it or tap it so they can work to their highest potential. I tend to set the bar very high. Lifetime memories should be made in the classroom and at school. NBCS should be a place where kids enter happy and go home with a smile on their face. I want my kids getting up in the morning begging to go to school! Archives
