It is a great pleasure to welcome all the families to the 2009-2010 school year. I am looking forward to a fantastic year based on good communication and a solid home-school partnership. This blog is part of that ongoing communication. It is intended to be interactive, and your comments are welcomed.
Today was about getting to know each other and the procedures of the classroom. Students filled out interest inventory forms, and they took diagnostic tests in reading and math. They interviewed each other, and wrote one paragraph introduction. They also worked on making portraits. We worked with the teacher and students from room 17 on our Physical Education program procedures. It was a good, solid day of work, and I really enjoyed getting to know the students.
As I indicated in my letter home, we will be having a special parent meeting on Tuesday, September 15th at 5:00 pm. I would like to have at least one parent/guardian from each parent at this meeting. I think it will be very helpful as we plan our year and what we can accomplish working together.
Homework: The parents have to do all the work tonight! Students are bringing home a variety of forms to be filled out and signed including the emergency card, the acceptable use policy, the library permission slip, and our own class letter. Real homework starts tomorrow.

Hi this is Brandon Brewer's Mom. As I am out of the country working it is so nice to have him in a class with a teacher who makes the extra effort to keep parents and students up to date in this blog. It will help me to continue to participate (even from a distance) and to monitor his homework progress. I am sure this will be a great year.
Thanks for going the extra mile...

Thank you, Mr. Bassett, for providing this important tool for parents. Sometimes (okay, lots of times) the kids don't tell parents what they did that day in school. This is perfect, because it comes from you, unfiltered.
