We celebrated the first day at Hall Elementary School with a hawaiian theme. The staff was wearing brightly colored hawaiian shirts and grass skirts! As students entered the gym they were greeted with high fives and presented with hawaiian leis. Inside the gym music rocked as students walked and danced to the Chicken Dance, YMCA, and the Macarena. Then everybody participated in the Cupid Shuffle. After the staff was introduced they did a hula dance for parents and students. We welcomed new staff members Mrs.Evelyn Fletcher(custodian), Mrs. Vonnie Engler (Speech), Mrs. Cindy Delp (Resource), Mrs. Monica Kramer (Guidance), Mr. Ron Mohs (P.E.), and Mr. Duane Skiles (P.E.).
Second grade also welcomes two new faces. We are so excited to have Caroline and Colton join our team- they are doing great and are already making new friends! We are fortunate to have them in our class. Our first day half day at school was spent unloading and organizing our tools for learning, getting to know each other, and practicing our speaking/listening skills. Your child received a gift bag with addition and subtraction flash cards, ice cream erasers, “Extra” gum, and a domino. Ask your child why a particular item was included and see if they can tell you the significance! I am very excited about this year and look forward to rigorous and relevant learning (flash cards), where mistakes are sweet (ice cream erasers) because we can learn from them, and to building relationships as we work better together rather than alone (domino)!
Caroline was very intrigued by the domino. She wants me to drill a hole in it to make a charm for a necklace. I thought that was an excellent idea! She is fortunate to have you for a teacher – Ive heard nothing but wonderful things about you. Thank you.
What a fun first day of school! We’re having Cowboy Day/Derby Day today celebrating the World Equestrian Games in Lexinton, Kentucky. Exciting! Looking forward to Skyping w/ you Tuesday. Have a nice Labor Day!
