• Teachers, please remember to send me your schedules by the end of the day today if you have not done so already.  
• I hope that everyone has had a wonderful first week.  Did you establish relationships with your students?  Have you set the tone for learning for the year?  Are students aware of classroom rules and procedures? 
• There is a possibility that we will have to prepare for the impending storm.  If so, I will ask that you unplug your computers and make sure that all windows are shuttered.  
• Thank you to Ms. Shon for inviting me to read to her class this week.  What a great experience talking to the students and answering their questions.  I would love to participate in each of your classes in some manner this school year.  Send me an invite!
