Author's Purpose PIE

Today we learned about the Author's Purpose PIE! You should definitely ask your child about this! The author's purpose is why authors write. The PIE stands for persuade, inform, and entertain. These are the three main types of writing that we will be talking about this year.

I know that we all have busy schedules, whether it be dance or football or soccer, but I would really love to have your help and support when it comes to AR Reading at night. If there seems to be a constant issue getting this done, please do not hesitate to talk to me about it, and we will see what we can work out!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

If you ever have any concerns or questions, please email me!

Day 1.... CHECK!

YAY!!!! What a great first day! I am so glad to have such a bunch of superstars in my class! We had a great time today getting to know each other, learning the procedures, and making the rules! Some kids have checked out my classroom library books. Please make sure that they know they need to check them back in tomorrow and they can check them back out over the weekend!

No homework tonight!

I am so very excited about this year! We had a wonderful first day and I can't wait until tomorrow!

(You should definitely ask your kids to sing to you what 7x12 is! :) )

Have a wonderful night!!!!

Delay of School, Yet Still at Work!

Wow, I could have never imagined that my first full year of school would start out like this! I am still extremely excited to start school and I hope that you and your children are as well! 

I have been going up to school and making sure that everything is perfect in the classroom and I feel more comfortable now, knowing that when the students come in, we will all be completely ready! 

Don't forget that your child will still need to be able to tell me about the BEST thing that they did this summer! (Can't be this week :) haha!) 

I really hope that we will start school ASAP. Let me know if I can do anything for you or help you in any way! Thank you for all of your support! I hope to see you very soon!
