October 1. 2007

Dear Parents,

This week we will not have new spelling words. We returned late from our hike on Friday and there was not enough time for our spelling test. So, instead of moving on to a new unit, I would rather take the extra time to ensure that the students know the words and feel successful on the spelling test. If you have any concerns or questions about this decision, please let me know.

The words are:

Also, Reading Olympics begins this week. I will be meeting with each student to discuss their goals and review the books that they're currently reading.

Many thanks to the parents who have taken time out of their busy schedules to accompany us on Fridays' hikes: Chris and Jamie Lindahl, Cynthia Prets, Amy Kenyon, Miss Kathy, Sheila Zinn, Courtney Tebbencamp, Robyn Washburn, and Shelly Dillingham. (I sure hope I didn't forget anyone - you're all so terrific!) Also, thank you to all who attended Open House on the 20th of September. I hope you found the evening to be informative and that it aided in your transition back to school. If you have any further questions that were not discussed that evening or feedback about the evening, please don't hesitate to contact me.

And a special thanks to Steve King, Dave Mark, Sheila Zinn and the SST members for presenting invaluable information for our school.

Thank you all for your ongoing support,

Mrs. Amy

About Mrs. Amy...

Amy was raised in Colorado and earned BA degrees in Psychology and Education from Western State College in Gunnison, CO. Her 17 year teaching career began in Los Lunas, NM and on the plains of Colorado in La Junta, where she was a second grade classroom teacher. The bulk of her teaching experience was as a classroom teacher in a Concord, New Hampshire public elementary school where she taught first, second, fifth and sixth grades.
