Thanks for visiting my classroom blog! I am really excited about starting this, and I look forward to keeping my parents in better touch with me, and what I do with your children on a daily/weekly basis.
Tonight was the parent meeting-- thanks again for all who came! It was great to see you. If anyone who was not there this evening who has any questions or needs anything from me, please don't hesitate to ask.
Weekly plans will be put up over the weekend, for the following week. I will most likely post daily, and try to update this as much as possible.

I'm a Police Officer Sung to: "I'm a little Teapot"
I'm a police officer

And I will be there

Five Friendly Firefighters
Five friendly firefighters standing near the door,
One washes the fire engine, now there are four.
Four friendly firefighters waiting patiently,
One fixes the hoses, now there are three.
Three friendly firefighters have a lot to do,
One climbs up a ladder, now there are two.
Two friendly firefighters exercise and run,
One cooks some dinner, now there is one.
One friendly firefighter-all the work is done,
This one goes to bed, now there are none.
