A new resolution and flower beds!

First off, I have a new resolution, which is to take more photos here at school.  I am not a natural photographer, and am working on adding taking pictures to my repertoire.  So, to that end I have added a photos page to this blog, and will be using this to try to hold myself accountable for taking pictures!

Also, we are beginning an investigation of hardy-annual flowers.  We have done some research, and will be preparing beds and sowing seeds in the next few weeks!  I am not sure if we will see any blooms by the end of school, but please feel free to come check out our garden over the summer and cut a few if you would like!

Progress Reports and thanks

First off, it was so nice to see many of you at our conferences earlier this week.  Also, on that note thank you so much to those of you who were able to fill out the feedback form.  This was the first time I have used a Google form to canvass parents, and I found it very useful and user friendly.  I also gained some great insight as to what you all find valuable with regard to parent teacher conferences.  Based on the feedback you all gave me on this round I think I will proceed with a "traditional" parent teacher conference in the fall and a student led one in the spring, with the opportunity, for those who wish, to have a student-led in the fall, or a more traditional in the spring.

Also, today make sure to check your student's Friday folder for their progress report.  These are in simple white envelopes with your child's name on the front.  If they forget to give them to you, please ask to make sure you get to check them out.

I hope you all have a restful and refreshing week, and I look forward to seeing everyone on the 24th.
