Hello Otter Families,
Welcome to a new school year. I am looking forward to beginning an exciting year with all of the new Otters. We are a team that knows how to work hard and have fun too. Sixth grade is a time of transition, and the keys to success are organization and responsibility. We will work together to build these skills throughout the year.
Because regular communication between home and school is vital, I will use this blog to keep you up to date regarding the happenings in room 301. If you need to contact me, please feel free to do so either via phone (264-1122 x 301) or email, shimamotoh@unionsd.org
I have given students a list of required school supplies. It isn't necessary to go out right away and get everything, but please try to have them by next week.
The weather forecast for this week calls for a heat wave. Please make sure that you send your child with a water bottle. Because we are making an effort to "Go Green" at Dartmouth, a reusable bottle is best. Students may only drink water in the classroom; no other food or drinks will be allowed.
In this time of budget cutbacks, our classroom is in constant need of supplies. If you would like to support our class, please feel free to send in any item from my wish list. Thanks in advance for your donations.
If you have read this blog, I would appreciate it if you would post a comment. It is nice to know who is reading the blog. You may post as an anonymous user but please sign your name so I know who you are.
I'm looking forward to a great year!
Mrs. Shimamoto

ReplyDeleteYour blog is very cute. My daughter says that your her favorite teacher.
But I have a question to ask you. Do I need to fill out any sheet or give out any money for homework club?
