Our #1 Job!


Our #1 job at Barrie School is LEARNING and students are off to a great start!  We have been discussing "Reading is..."  and "Math is..."  and students have generated some wonderful ideas!  During the school year we will be discovering new things about reading and math, as well as recalling all the things we have already learned about each!



Students generated ideas about what reading is and what math is.  They had great thoughts!

Everyone was hard at work with their ideas for math and reading.


First Day of School!

The first day of school is so exciting for students, teachers, and staff.  The hallways are sparkling and the rooms are ready for students!  I did some rearranging and organizing of my classroom over the summer.  Here is what it looks like.

It's That Time!



After unpacking items stored away for the summer, dusting off furniture, putting up bulletin boards, labeling student cubbies, sorting books, arranging, rearranging, and rearranging AGAIN, my room is ready for September 3 and the start of another exciting school year!  Call me crazy, but nothing says the start of school like the smell of new Crayola crayons!! Barrie School "Back to School Night" was tonight and students and parents were visiting classrooms to drop off supplies and meet their teachers, anticipating what the coming year will bring!  I'm looking forward to an incredible school year and seeing my students discover the excitement of learning!
