Welcome Back!
How can it be that September is right around the corner?!? I hope you have all enjoyed your summer days and this beautiful Maine weather! My summer vacation actually started a little early this year, because of this little one...
...baby Jane! She is now three months old and it has been so amazing to watch her get bigger and stronger and learn new things. This summer included many firsts for Janey-- including her first Clam Fest (she thought it was way too hot!!), her first hike (up The Mountain in Rome, Maine), and her first lobster dinner (well, sort of...). Mr. Parkin, Janey, and I spent lots of time at my family's house in Belgrade, which Janey loves, although she hasn't actually tried swimming yet. She also loves eating, looking at trees, and practicing her kicks. She doesn't have too many dislikes (lucky for us!) but she really hates wet diapers.
I have also spent lots of time this summer getting ready for a new school year with new friends! In between Janey's naps and meal times, I've been reading, planning, and thinking about how we can make this our best year together! This is my eighth year teaching, and my third year at YES, and I always look forward to building a new community with a fresh batch of students. I'm sure you have so much to teach me, and I can't wait for us to learn together! If you'd like to know more about my education and background, please click here.
I am so excited to meet everyone, and I hope you can all stop by during our teacher drop-in, from 9:30-10:30 a.m. on Thursday, August 29th. Come say hello, check out our classroom (room 302 in the yellow hallway), and drop off your school supplies if you have them. During the first week of school, please plan to bring a book you read and enjoyed this summer. (You won't need it on the first day, but I like to give a little heads-up in case you don't have your book at your house right now!)
While you're here at our class blog, The Parkin Spot, please explore a little! I've tried to include lots of information that might answer some questions you have about fourth grade, like our schedule and homework expectations. If you have a few extra minutes, please comment below and share what you're most looking forward to about fourth grade! You can do that by clicking where it says "no comments" (or 1 comment, 2 comments, etc.) at the bottom of this post. Type your response in the box (don't forget to include your name so we know who you are!), then select "comment as anonymous." Click on "publish" and you're done!
I look forward to getting to know you, and I'm so happy to be your fourth grade teacher!
