Patriot's Day and Constitution Day

Patriot's Day was created after September 11, 2001.  It's a day to commemorate America and the American Spirit.


Constitution Day is a day created to remember the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1814 - shortly after the War of 1812 (remember the National Anthem?).

The Constitution is America's most important document, which is still used today.

Welcome to a new school year!

I look forward to working with both you and your children. They are going to learn much and grow in their development as responsible, independent individuals.

The blog is a place for both parents and students. It's a great way to go paperless and include live links!

Parent posts will link to a interesting topics, information, educational research, or updates.
Student posts will link to activities, videos, and more resources in order to enhance the learning experience!

Individual communication between parents and teacher will continue via the school agenda/planner.

Have a Happy New School Year! Back to School song
