Picture Day

Picture Day is scheduled for Thursday, October 9th. We are scheduled for first thing in the morning so please don't be late. Try to look your best because this will always be your "5th grade picture" forever.

Ferry Building Farmers' Market Tomorrow

Our first field trip is tomorrow. It may rain, so please dress appropriately for walking in the rain. Don't forget to bring a light lunch. We will be eating at the Farmers' Market, but just in case you're still hungry.

Open for comments (I hope)

Blog opened for comments! I believe that I have opened this blog for comments without having to register for openID. Give it a try so I can see if it works. Thank you.

First Day of School

Hooray! Today was the first day of the new school year. It was so exciting to meet everyone. The kids seem great. Everyone seemed excited to be here and ready to learn. We didn't have time to do everything I hoped to do, but we can finish things later. I sent home a letter about myself, and I'll post tonight's homework under the homework tab (above). Here's to a great year!

Welcome to Room 212!

Welcome to the new school year! I've seen my class list and can't wait to meet everyone. There are many familiar faces and I'm excited about beginning the new year.  Hopefully parents will complete the family survey, and eventually I'll have all my students signed up for their own blogs.  Please take a moment to click on family survey and complete the form to assist me in learning about your child. Learning about technology and digital citizenship will be a new adventure that we will all share this year.

There are many changes at Jefferson this year, and I look forward to working with our new principal, Mr. Poon, and new teachers, Ms. Radwanski (4th) and Ms. Chapman (K).

I hope that this site will become a useful tool for the 212 community. I intend to post field trip info. useful teaching tools, and homework assignments. I hope that this will create a community where we can all feel successful.

Welcome to Room 212 everyone!

Countdown to 2014/15 school year

School starts in 2 weeks! I am sitting in Day 2 of a workshop with Ms. Partika. We're learning how to make our classes more engaging and relevant using technology. Working on our classroom blogs and learning how to add links. Nice to know all SFUSD kids will have their own district email. I got my class list today and I am soooo excited about the new year!
