Open House

Open House is scheduled for Thursday, August 10, 2010 from 6:00 - 8:00pm. Parents, grandparents, and family are welcome to visit students' classrooms at any time during these two hours. Here children will meet their teacher, find their seats, and get acquainted with their new classroom.

Children who attend Open House will receive a small prize at their desk, so try to stop by sometime during the two hour open house!

Welcome Back to School!

As the summer ends, I hope everyone is getting excited about starting a new year at Gilbert. First grade is the best, and I look forward to discovering it all over again with each of you. We will start off the year getting to know the routines and expectations of first grade. We will also have homework beginning on Tuesday.

Gilbert's theme for this year is Climbing Mount Everest: Mission Possible. I know that if we all work hard together, we will achieve our goals for the year!

Supply lists are posted on the school website, as well as in the school office and at Wal-Mart. Thank you in advance for bringing any of the items on the wish list as well.

Parents, please know that we are a team in making your child's learning experience a success, and please feel free to contact me with ANY questions or concerns regarding school. I am available via email, phone, or a scheduled meeting. I look forward to seeing you at Open House and/ or Monday, August 16, 2010.
