Welcome back to school, everyone! Today we had a class meeting, discussed our weekly routines, and organized our materials. Make sure that you have put your name on your notebooks and other supplies. Materials for ELA: Large, college-ruled notebook with folders. If you ordered the school supply box, you will use the Mead 5-Star notebook from your box. You will also need a pencil or pen and a highlighter. We will occasionally use other supplies, but I will give you advance notice so you can be ready for class. It is going to be a great year!
