To all of my new third graders, I am so excited to welcome you to my class! You are now the "big kids" of the school, and I am looking forward to a fun an exciting year.
As many of you know, when we left for summer vacation last year, I was expecting my first child. She arrived July 12th. Her name is Madelyn Brooke Owen. Since she is still very little, I will be taking some time off to be with her. Mrs. Taylor will be filling in for me in the meantime. I will return to school September 6th full time. Mrs. Taylor used to be a teacher here at Springwood before retiring, and still substitutes frequently at our school. Mrs. Taylor and I have been planning together to make sure the first few weeks of third grade are phenomenal!
Please be sure to bookmark this page on your home computers, as we will communicate frequently through the blog. Parents, this blog is a way for you to have "eyes" into our classroom. I post pictures and information frequently on here to keep you informed of what is going on in our classroom. Students, there are links to fun games on here, and you never know when your picture might show up from one of our field trips or special days. It's always fun to look back at what we did as a class!
I know we are going to have a wonderful year together!
