Steve Blunt sang songs, told stories, played music, and told jokes about colonial life here in New England.  

What was your favorite part of this cultural event?

At 2:00 we participated in a very moving tribute to the veterans in our school community.  You all did a nice job singing, and I'm sure whether the veterans in your family and neighborhood were able to attend or not, they appreciated your best singing and respectful attention during the event.  Great job.

In the front of the room we have 3 white boards, and the one on the left is where nightly homework assignments are written. 

At the end of the day (2:45) you will have 10 minutes to copy these into your agenda before lining up.

You will usually have 2 homework assignments every night.  Some kids also have a couple math fact or regrouping problems.  On Fridays you will always have the same homework assignment:  Book Circles.  Since you have to read for 10 minutes every day, fill them out so we can share what you're reading on Monday morning.

Do you remember what to do as soon as you come into class every morning? 

When you come in at 8:50, you have about 10 minutes to get settled until the start of class begins at 9:00. 

I will check your homework right away, as well as do attendance and the lunch count while you complete your Morning Work.  Once everyone has gotten credit for their homework, we'll start Morning Meeting.
