Thanks to the Jersey City Public Library System, The Bookmobile arrived last week.  The First Grade had the opportunity to go on board, sit on the carpet, and read favorite stories. One student exclaimed, "Wow! It's like the Magic School Bus!"  Everyone enjoyed this new experience. The Bookmobile will be coming to us every two weeks.

Today, as a class, we decided to write a poem all about Fall in honor of the upcoming Fall season. The children all participated and took turns hand writing the different parts of the poem on a poster that we will be hanging in the hallway outside of our classroom for all to see! Because we worked so hard on it, we also wanted to share the poem with you.

Last week was an eventful week: we had our first fire drill, our first assembly,our first indoor recess, and our first project in the cafeteria!

Today is the 5^th day of school and I am seeing children who did not know each other holding hands at recess and sharing toys. Students are becoming familiar with the building and are bonding with their teachers.  On Friday, the children on the bus all waved goodbye!

The school will successfully open Tuesday, 9/1, due to the very generous donation of time, resources, energy, and love from all of you. This love and positive energy that we feel permeates the hallways and classrooms. We will greet you Tuesday grateful for:

It is a pleasure meeting you as you drop off your Transfer Slips. Many of you have questions for the first days of school that we will address at the Open House. In the event you will not be able to attend, below are some answers.
