Happy Tuesday!

Greetings everyone!

Today I am attending a training session for Common Core GPS. On my way into class, I saw Mrs. Long, our student teacher from last year. I'm happy to announce that Mrs. Long will be teaching at Gilbert this year. She is replacing Mrs. Pope who retired this summer. Mrs. Long will be teaching Science and Social Studies. She is here at AEC for new teacher orientation. I'm sure you will join me in wishing her all the best!

Time for class to start. Until next time...

Mrs. R :)

Open House 2011

Open House 2011

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

4:00 - 6:00 p.m.

You are cordially invited to Gilbert's Open House! Drop in any time between 4 - 6 p.m. to see your new classroom, meet your teacher, and pick up some important information for you and your parents.

If you have already purchased your supplies, you may drop them off at Open House. It would save valuable time as I can get everything put away and ready to go for the first day of school. Not to mention, your book bag will be lots lighter. :)   

I'm very excited about our year together and cannot wait to meet you and your family! I hope you will make plans to attend! I have a special surprise for you!

See your smile in a little while!

Longest Summer Ever?

Greetings All,

I hope your summer is going well! I am enjoying the break from school. However, I find myself ready to go back. This is the longest summer we've had since I started teaching. My mindset says it's time to go back already!

I went to school a few days last week to work in my classroom. School is a strange place during the summer. It's quiet and dark. There's no children, no laughing, no conversations, no questions. There's really not much there without you guys! I look around the room and remember our year together. All the learning and growing that you guys did! You were amazing! I miss you guys!

I want to take a moment to remind you that you truly can accomplish anything you set your mind to! Attitude is a small thing but is capable of making a BIG difference. Just pull out your CAN DO attitude and fourth grade will fly by! Take time each day to smile and learn something new!

Until next time,

Mrs. R. :)

P.S. Don't worry, I'll still get to see you guys at lunch every day!
