Can you believe it?


The month of August kicks off on Monday. Time flies when you are having fun! With just about three weeks until the start of school, here are some things that I suggest you fitting in before the first bell rings.

*Dust off your multiplication flash cards.
*Read a couple more good books and add them to your AR reading log. Can't find your log? Print a new one from the Gilchrist website.
*Wait to buy school supplies until after orientation on August 18th. But if you are DYING to pick up a few things (I love school supplies too!) then get items like notebook paper, pencils, markers, glue, scissors, pencil sharpener, and colored pencils.
*Do some family field trips to places like the Mary Brogan Museum, the Tallahassee Museum, the farmers market, etc. Local businesses and museums need our support.
*Spend the night with friends. Stay up too late, watch funny movies, swim, eat lots of watermelon, and enjoy being a kid!

Can't wait to meet my future 5th graders!
