Welcome to the New School Year!

This is the place where I will post information every month about the goings on in our classroom. I am guessing that since you have found this blog, you have received my letter!! If not, you should be getting it any day now. I am so excited for the upcoming year...we are going to have a great time together while stretching our brains!! 


I hope to get a chance to meet you all on Thursday, August 18th from 3-5pm at the UES Block Party...feel free to bring your school supplies and put them in your desks that afternoon...it will make the backpack a lot lighter Monday morning!!  This year our Block Party is a combination of an Open House and our Back to School Night...lots of information will be shared...there will be two sessions...3:15 and 3:45...looking forward to meeting you !! 

If you'd like to communicate with me BEFORE the 18th...maybe you'd like me to know what name you like to be called, or you'd like to tell me something interesting about your summer, or maybe you just have a question...please feel free to email me... karen.wills@fcps.org! 

Enjoy the rest of your summer break...I will see you VERY soon!!
