Welcome Back!

Welcome back!  I hope you have enjoyed your summer vacation.  Stop by and tell me about all the great books you read over the summer.  What was your favorite?  

I am looking forward to beginning reading groups within the next couple of weeks.  We will be using the Lexia Reading Core 5 computer program again this year, as well as working on specific phonics and comprehension skills. 

Here is a poem for you to enjoy.

School
by
Winifred C. Marshall


School bells are ringing, loud and clear;
Vacation’s over, school is here.
We hunt our pencils and our books,
And say goodbye to fields and brooks,
To carefree days of sunny hours,
To birds and butterflies and flowers.
But we are glad school has begun.
For work is always mixed with fun.
When autumn comes and the weather is cool,
Nothing can take the place of school.
