We are now entering into our 2nd full week of school and things are starting to fall into place. I've already met with a few of the students and they are ready to READ!
This week I will be in Kanawha at the MS on Tuesday, August 30th. On Thursday, September 1st, I will meet with K-Geelan, 4-Hildeman, and 2-Glawe. K-G will listen to Mr. Wiggle's Book written by Carol Thompson and illustrated by Bobbie Houser. 4-H will be in the computer lab at www.abcya.com. 2-G will watch a power point on library orientation in the computer lab.
The 2011 state library reports are sent, but I thought you might like to read some results...

Excitement in the air!
As I type this I am sitting in my little office in the WHHS LMC and planning for the upcoming school year. I love this time of year! I know we think of January as the start of a new year, but to me it's in August.
I have always enjoyed school, learning, reading. I remember when I was little, the start of school meant new clothes, new school supplies, new teachers, and sometimes, a new school. While I knew I would miss all the summer activities and weather, there was a sense of excitement of what was to be - the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL - and a time to grow in mind, body, and spirit. Of course, my 2 sisters, brother, and I had our picture taken in that 'just right' new outfit when it was our turn to line up for the big day.
I hope you as students (or parents) take this opportunity to make a fresh new start for the 2011-2012 school year. That first few weeks can be so important! Learn something new each day!
Please return each week to read my blog. Try to enjoy those last rays of summer. And Good Luck and Good Reading in the upcoming year at West Hancock Community Schools!
