I frequently update this list throughout the year with things we need in the classroom. I will also post miscellaneous items that we use throughout the year on the here. http://a.co/i405jb5
It seems that some of our Dojo codes went home with the wrong kiddos! Please check to make sure your child's name is at the top of the paper you took.

Please make sure you send in your child's transportation on a written note if you did not give it to me on Monday.
We had a slight change in lunch time from what is in the handbook! Lunch is 12:32-1:02.
Tomorrow we will have STEM, Thursday we will have art and Friday we will have PE.
This week we will spend time getting to know each other and learning/practicing school rules.
I will update my blog each Friday afternoon with information regarding the coming week. I am looking forward to a great year!

Next Week In M3...
It's the last blog post for the year and I'm a little sad about it. Thank you all for an amazing year. and for such a thoughtful gift. These kids have taught me so much this year and I cannot wait to watch them continue their journey through King Springs.
On Monday we will be watching Wonder! Your child may bring a pillow and small blanket to lay on while we watch the movie.
Next week is a short week! Monday is a full day of school and Tuesday and Wednesday are half days. Students should bring their backpacks on Monday only. Please do not send them with a backpack on Tuesday or Wednesday. On Wednesday it is a county rule that the kids cannot take anything home on the bus with them.
Please, please write a note for any transportation changes! I cannot accept these changes through email.
I have started sending home their notebooks and folders today. Yesterday I sent home the math workbooks for second grade. These would be awesome practice over the summer if you would like to use them - what kid doesn't want to do school work during their break?? On that note, I highly encourage you all to continue reading with you child for at least 20 minutes each day of the summer. The kiddos have had a lesson on how to log their minutes on Biblionasium for the summer reading competition.
I hope you all have a fantastic summer together!

Updates for the week...
Spelling words will be the same since we were not here to practice them. As far as what we're learning, we're going to keep on with was was planned for last week so we can be sure to get all that awesome knowledge in!
*If your child did not complete last week's homework, it is up to you whether they do it or not. I am sending home a new homework sheet today that will cover the same material.
THIS THURSDAY is STEM night at KSE! 6:30-8:30 on the 2-5 campus! We have many great presenters coming to show off their career in the field of STEM, a food truck, and a free raffle! I hope to see you all there.
