Welcome Back!
I hope you were able to rest and recharge over the break! It was soooo nice to spend time at home with family. However, it is also nice to be back into a routine and to see our kiddos again. As you know immediately following a break is an important time to review and restate classroom expectations and procedures. This will go a long way in supporting the learning environment that needs to be in place for second semester.
