Hi Class!

It's the first of November, and although you have been in school for almost three months, this week will be my first with you.

I am excited to get to know you and help you become better readers and writers. You have been through so much this first semester, and I hope that this will be a smooth transition.

We have plenty to keep us busy as we are starting the week with the research paper! I look forward to a great semester with you.
