Open House...August 29th

Open house is coming on Wednesday, August 29th from 12:00 noon to 8:00 p.m.!

This is such a wonderful time for students to come in and meet their new teachers. In our classroom I will be giving out a lot of paperwork, talking about our classroom, and finding out a lot about my students. Students can also bring in their school supplies and pick their desk. It will be a very enjoyable time!

I sent out a challenge to my students this week for each of them to bring in a drawing of their favorite season. I look forward to seeing these on the 29th.

At open house families will get a chance to see many of the clubs and activities that happen at SES and they will also be given a chance to go to our Buy One, Get One Free book fair. You aren't going to want to miss this awesome book buying experience.

Be sure to mark your time down on your calendar and come visit on August 29th!
