Awesome Ending to the Week!

What a wonderful day! October has started with great listeners, special visitors, and hard-working third graders- what more could we ask? I am so thankful for our class and the community they have established. We are finally becoming a little family! I never doubted them. :-)

We enjoyed our time with Visiting Artist Ms. Hice. This program was made possible by a grant for the Hickory Art Museum and was a wonderful opportunity for our third graders. Please ask to see your child's project! They look amazing and are all unique. You can see more pictures of our artist project HERE!

We also celebrated our first Star Student, Miss Claire! She enjoyed special jobs every day, and we loved having her mom visit today during MIRP. Every Star Student will invite a loved one for "Parent Spotlight." This way someone special can be a part of our classroom for a time, and help or read to us. Can't wait to have you join us!

Oakwood successfully completed fire and "lockdown" drills this week. We are officially prepared for any and all emergencies. :-) Parent conferences have also started rotating through. Thank you so much for your time! I look forward to meeting with each and every one of you.
