Well, we’ve all just survived our first, very hot, week back at school. Thank you to all the students in Room 13 for giving me a warm welcome and doing their best all week despite the awful conditions.It has also been great to meet some parents this week, and I’m looking forward to meeting more of you at Acquaintance Night in week 3.

Here is the spelling grid and your words for word study this week. At least they should be here but I don’t seem to be able to upload them from school.

 On Thursdays I will be wearing my Coordinator hat and Beck Williams will be in the classroom. I know that she had a great day on Thursday, and she’s looking forward to working in Room 13 this year.

Now, I’d like you all to think of the following questions.

If you could give me some advice about how to help you learn, what would you say?

What is something that every teacher should know, but you don’t think they do.

Be honest, this is your chance to share your thoughts with me.
