Parent Teacher Conferences

Best School Uniform Required for Spring Pictures

We will have Spring Pictures - both the whole class picture and an individual shot - taken on Tuesday, Feb. 1. The students are required to be in school uniform. A proof will be sent home with the students on Tuesday, and parents may order from the proof.

CSAP Information

Look for test dates and times for CSAP testing under the 'CSAP Information' tab.

New Spelling Routines

Beginning Monday, Jan. 24, there will be a completely different spelling routine in our classroom. For this routine, each student will need a new spiral notebook, wide-ruled. Please see the "Spelling" tab to learn the new procedure. I believe this will allow the students to be more independent, learn some time management skills, and have a little more fun while they learn. THANK You to one of my room "Moms" for starting me on this path!!

Guest Teacher, Great Students

Our class was priviledged to have a guest teacher in our room today. It was great because we have been working on prepositions this week, and the guest teacher did a great job teaching prepositions in a fun and interactive way. The students were fabulous! I'm so proud of them! Each and every one of our kids represented Bromley East in a positive and productive way!!
