WOW! We’re back to school. What a wonderful group of students I have this year. They appear to be eager to learn. I have found out they are awesome in math. It should be a fun year. So far we have gotten through our beginning assessment for fluency reading, comprehension reading, spelling and math. Now I can look at where I need to go with these results.


This year I’m doing my grading online. Every family should have received their access code to Engrade. Please register and keep checking your child’s grades. I will not be sending home any grades throughout the quarter/year. Please contact me if you have not received your code.

The magazine sales started Wed., Sept. 12, 2012. Please help support the school raise money. This is one of the big fundraiser we do. Ask all your friends, relatives, and co-workers to purchase magazines from your child. If you know of anyone at an eye clinic, doctor clinic or someplace where they orders several magazines, please ask them if they would help support Our Lady of the Lake.
The back to school dinner last night was good. I was little disappointed that I didn’t get to meet many of my families, but hopefully you will stop in for a visit. I did have a nice visit with the two families that did attend. We had lots of food and a nice speech for the out going teachers and Ms. Sara and Mr. Bell. We will miss them all greatly. God bless them in their new adventures.

I’m looking for some bean bags or large pillows to be donated to my classroom. The students like to relax on them while silent reading.

I look forward to a wonderful year full of fun and exciting events.
