Hello everyone and welcome back to another week!  Congratulations to our new class represenative, Ben!  Well done Ben, we all know you will do a great job!  Good luck to those of you running on Wednesday for the X Country run at England's Hallow in Chatham.  Parents are reminded of a Information Session on the French Immersion program on Thursday, September 23rd at 6:00 pm.  Don't forget our penny drive for the Terry Fox Foundation this week.  For every dollar raised your name will go on a ballot to be drawn for the Principal For A Day contest.  In French this week we will continue to work on our verbal skills and explore some new books.  Your parents will also get a chance to hear you read as you take your books home for reading.  In Math we will be exploring numbers 1-100 in French and working on number patterns and skip counting.  It is also our turn for Morning Announcement jokes.  Caleb has been waiting for awhile for his turn!

  The first x-country meet will take place at Nelson School on Wednesday at 4:00.  For those of you that are on the team, Mr. Buggie asks that you meet at the Nelson School at 3:45.  Good luck to all of you that are participating in this meet!

I would like to personally welcome your child to my classroom. We made history this week at Gretna Green Elementary. Your child will be forever recognized as a student in the first French Immersion program at Gretna Green Elementary! I look forward to creating a learning environment that provides your child with the optimum opportunity for success.In one short week the students have shown me great potential and I am looking forward to continued success in the French Immersion program throughout the year. Please take the time to visit our class page. Beginning next week it will be updated consistently throughout the year. Feel free to contact me at any time throughout the year regarding your child’s progress.

I had a great summer!  My family and I went to Disney World in Florida for a week.  We got to eat dinner with the Princess which was amazing.  At the end of July my aunt got married on top of a big boat and I was the flower girl.  It was really fun!   We went to the beach and stayed at my cottage in Blackville a few times.  I loved going on the tube behind the boat and biking to the park.    Ellie and I had a dance show for our neighborhood and raised money for the SPCA.  When I dropped the money off at the shelter, I got to see the cat room that had 61 cats in it.  That was interesting!   The last weekend of the summer I will be going to a Red Sox game in Boston.  My dad and brother love baseball but my mom and I will probably shop.    See you next week, Molly Hutchison
