Hello!
I am so excited to begin our 2015-2016 school year. The classroom is almost ready and I went to some amazing staff development trainings. I have lots of new ideas to help us learn and grow in remarkable ways together. It is going to be a great year.
I hope that you had a wonderful summer. I hope that you enjoyed time with friends and family and I look forward to hearing all about your summer adventures.
Reading over the summer is one of my favorite things. (I also traveled to the northeast to see family and had some fun times hiking, paddling, and playing games.) I read lots of interesting books over the summer like I am Malala, Girl on the Train, and The Year the Swallows Came Early. As readers, I am sure that you read lots of incredible books over the summer. I can wait to hear about your reading adventures and talk with you about books.
Don't forget that supply drop off is on Friday, August 21. If your last name begins with A-L, then you will come between 4:00-4:30. If your last name begins with M-Z, then you will come between 4:45-5:15. I hope that you can come and visit our classroom, choose a desk, tell me a little about your interests, and see your friends. I am very excited to meet you!
The first day of school is on Tuesday, August 26. Come with a smile, a healthy snack, and a book that you are reading.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at pam_bartholomew@roundrockisd.org. I am very happy to have the opportunity to be your teacher. We are going to have a fantastic year reading, writing, talking, creating, helping, sharing, and inspiring each other.
Sincerely,
Pam Bartholomew
