Summer's Wrapping Up (School Supply Info below)

I don't know how much I'll be able to write here in the following weeks, as I'll be in Florida until right before school starts visiting my brother and sister-in-law. I want to share with you the real reason I am heading down to Florida--
my nephew!!


Isn't he sweet? He is planning on joining us sometime in September, but I can already tell from this picture that I am going to spoil him rotten. He's flashing the "peace sign" at you! They haven't come up with his name yet. Do you have any suggestions? Post them here, and I'll share your ideas with my brother!

Hopefully, I'll get one or two posts added before school starts, but just in case I don't, I wanted to tell you all to keep reading as much as you can and be ready for a few changes this year. It's all very exciting. We'll have a few new faces at Jones, including a new classmate! Do you think we can fit another desk into our room? It will be tight with 25, but I have no doubt that this will be the best year ever!! Have a wonderful July and I'll see you soon!

PS--I hope you all got your postcards from North Carolina a few weeks ago!

**Our school supply list is available on our school website or by clicking HERE. The pencil sharpener (WITH COVER), binder, dividers, and paper are the most important items. Students will need a pencil box, as well. Since most students will switch classes for reading, we need to have some consistency in those supplies. For our class, I would recommend holding off on the index cards and Ziploc bags. We are well stocked with those items. My personal "wish list" would include Kleenex, hand sanitizer, and possibly a pack or two of baby wipes. Please remember that all students are expected to wear the standard school attire when they head back to school. For more information on exactly what that entails, click HERE. Our students can wear the following colors: white, blue (all shades), red, pink, and yellow. Don't forget the tax-free shopping weekend August 3-5!

Hi Ms.Karraker I am having a good time this summer. So far I have been to a couple of sleepovers,I played glow in the dark golf, and beat my little brother playing video games. I took a tour of purity dairy factor taste tested some ice-cream sandwiches. I am excited to hear that we will have a new classmate in our class.
