Hello everyone!!

This is the first of many "Daily Updates".

We had an exciting first day in 8T today! I gave my home phone number, email address, and blog site address to the students so please ask them for this info. Feel free to contact me whenever you have any questions or concerns.

The only homework the students have tonight will be to fill out and sign the registration package and return it to school tomorrow. Also, bring in all supplies for tomorrow.

Have a good evening!
