 Today we talked about kayaks and CPR in preparation for our first reading, The Red Kayak.

I gave a short writing assignment so I can begin to get a sense of the students writing abilities. It doesn't have to be long.  Five sentences would be fine.  I handed out bubble books and I would like to see it there.

1. Tell me about your summer vacation (paragraph)

Welcome back!

 Hi everyone! 

My name is Mr. Gaines and I will be the 5a2 teacher, along with the homeroom teacher for 503 this year.  It's great to see so many familiar faces who have grown up so much since I first met them four years ago.  I'm excited to have the chance to spend this year learning and growing.  I am looking forward to having a great year together.
