Suwanee Express
Week of September 16th
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I want to begin by giving a big shout out to all who supported in making the Jaguar Jamboree a HUGE success! It was so much fun to see our Suwanee community have a great night! Big shout out to our amazing Dunk Tank participants Ms. Mackay, Ms. Thomas, Ms. Cason, Mr. Morgan, Ms. Won, Ms. Nguyen, Ms. Fidero, Ms. Ramsey, and Ms. Lemoine. The fourth grade water fight is still being talked about today. :) Also, our cake walk extraordinaires Ms. Chiu and Ms. JoAn Phillips really made the gym a dance party! Mr. Ho spent the evening documenting the special event, thank you!. Also, big thanks to Ms. Ronda and her kind husband Jimmy for staying late to ensure everything was cleaned up. THANK YOU! :) There's no place like Suwanee!
Teachers, we have our professional learning Tuesday, so please ensure you have completed the information sent to you last Thursday via email. Thanks for all you do!
Your Very Proud Principal,
Ms. Taylor

Welcome to our new Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Kristen Tignor!
Duncan Details from the Media Center
The media center has enjoyed helping students write thank you notes to their grandparents this week. We will be working on getting these done and hope to have them all mailed by the end of the month. We are enjoying seeing the students take the time to reflect on the special time they had with their grandparents and show appreciation for their news books. A big thank you to Mrs. Taylor for being willing to supply the stamps and envelopes to help make this happen!

Super Scoggins News!
The student password reset is coming soon. More information to follow once a date is set. Just a heads up!
I have a resource that you might like for vocabulary and sight words. I made an example of how you can use it with some sight words for 2nd grade. You click the letter of the alphabet on the main slide to link you to the slide with the words. I added in a picture when I could find one, and a sentence using the word. The QR code reads the sentence to the student. You can record your voice reading the sentence to students as well. I used a website I found with recorded sentences in the example. I am planning on having an optional Y'all Come session in my office on 9/19 if you would like to look at this resource together. The link below will take you to the Suwanee Training eCLASS page to view.
