Teachers, thank you again for another great week of teaching and learning. Please remember that we are only finishing up the 10th day of school. With that in mind, routines and procedures still need to be practiced and reinforced. Please continue to make positive phone calls to parents and work on building positive relationships. Consider this article as you reflect on our first full week of school. http://www.edutopia.org/blog/when-we-listen-students-elena-aguilar

Have a wonderful weekend!

Please be mindful of the outside temperatures and heat indexes for the next several weeks. Please allow students to stay hydrated and drink enough water when they return in the building. Please also make sure you are actively supervising students while at recess. Safety is our top priority!

She has found a plethra of resources while using her twitter account and we have had a chance to see her put them to use by some of the activities that she has tweeted out that her students Created.

Mrs. Murray would like to thank everyone for their teamwork this past week as we got all of our textbooks signed out to our students. A special thank you to Mr. Thorne and Mrs. George for their help!

Updates-

1. If a student transfers out of Killian, please make sure all of their hardback books are returned to Mrs. Murray. This REALLY MATTERS!! :) Keep their softcover workbooks for you to use for any new students you acquire.
