It's time for conferences again!! Our conferences will be held over zoom on Monday, November 23rd from 10:30 a.m. - 6:50 p.m. and on Tuesday, November 24th from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.  Conferences are 15 minutes per child and I'll send you a zoom link earlier in the morning. You'll "wait" in the waiting room and once I finish with the family before you, I'll admit you to the conference room. Since report cards aren't coming home until December, we'll talk about general academic progress, successes in the classroom, and our next steps for the second trimester.  I can't wait to talk to all of you!  Click on the link above to sign up for a time.

Celebration Time!


We have had a FABULOUS start to being back in school all together!! We worked hard to listen, be safe, and use growth mindset these last two days. After all of this hard work, we filled out Champ Band Bin today!!  When we fill our bin, we add a mask to our school bulletin board. Today we added the last mask, so not only are we having a classroom celebration, we are also going to have a whole school celebration!!  YAY Room 9!!!  Keep your eyes posted on information for our clasroom celebration!
