Welcome Newbies

Welcome to Ms. Simonson's Language Arts Blog.
It's a new year....with LOTS of great things we can talk about.
It's going to be a super year with all kinds of things to read about and write about.
I am SO EXCITED to get to know each one of you.
Make sure you leave me a comment so I can see who has been here.
Here's to an EXCELLENT school year.

First Day Without You....

Hey guys....

David Cassidy is on Oprah today.

Remember him from our Partridge Family/Cheetah Girls reading last year?

I am very excited to see it.

OK....I was able to see some of you today....but not all of you.

How was your first day?

I miss you guys!

Olympics '08: Phelps Swims Into History

WOW!!

Getting Close

Yesterday I was at school all day.
I had a meeting in the morning, and then I went to my room to work with Ms. Keel.
We are getting all ready for another year of students.
Too weird that it won't be all of you guys.
We are doing new stuff for Language.
We are excited about trying it....just wish it was with you folks.
You did the reading workshop SO WELL...that the Writing Workshop (our next thing) would fit so well with you.
I know you will really enjoy 7th grade though.
Today is the day you go and get pictures taken, get your new lockers, and get your schedules.
Let me know what house you go in, and who your teachers are.
I am excited for you guys.
Keep me posted!!

It's August

Hey kids...it's AUGUST already. WOW!
Have any of you turned in you Barnes and Noble certificates for a free book?
I am having a hard time believing that we go back to school so soon.
We are doing something new and different next year. Wish we would be together again so you can see how cool it is going to be.
I miss you guys.
