The red carpet welcomes each of the shining stars on the Cast of A110. Take a peek below at a few props you will need while you are on the set.

Ask Questions:  If you have any concerns or are wondering why something is happening, please feel free to write a note or email me.  I usually check email a few times a day.  I welcome all concerns, ideas, and feedback that affect your child or our classroom.   If something is not working, I am more than willing to talk.

Birthday Celebrations

Please send these items to school with your child on the first day of school.  Items marked with an asterisk (*) will be collected and used by the entire class.

Boxtops are a quick and easy way to help our PTO raise funds for Greenbrook School.  Look on the packages of your favorite items and you just might find the Boxtop logo.  Cut out the box top and send it to school with Johnson and your child’s name on the back.

Snack: Students may bring a nutritious snack and a bottle of water to school everyday.  Juice of any kind is not allowed to avoid the attraction of ants when spills happen. Our classroom is a peanut and nut free zone.  Please do not send in any items with these ingredients.

We Need You: If you have the time, I have opportunities.  There are so many ways to help make this year amazing for the children. Whether you can come spend a morning with us, or would like to complete a project at home, I have a project that will be a great match for you.  My door is always open, please consider spending sometime with us.  The children and I will love seeing you, and while I could never thank you enough, be assured of my thanks.  If you are interested, please email me.  We would really appreciate the help.

Arrival Time: I welcome the children into our classroom when the first bell rings at 8:55am.  The children enter the classroom, unpack, hand in notes from home, sign up for lunch, and complete word sorting with a friend.  At 9:10 the late bell rings, any child entering the classroom after this time will be considered late. Formal instruction begins at 9:10. I appreciate your help in getting your children here at the first bell.

Welcome to the Cast of A110′s Blog!  Our blog will serve many purposes this year. It will be a place where we will share our latest podcasts, class projects, books we love,  homework, websites to explore, ideas we are thinking about, and things we want to share.

A few agreements before we get started.

• Be sure when you are posting you use your Cast number only…  no names.. only our secret codes.  This way we will know who is sharing but the rest of the world will not.(You will be given cast star number upon receiving signed permission slip to be part of the blog.)
• After you write your comment, check your spelling, and be sure you have placed one space between each word.
• Please be sure that your parents are with you to help to along the way.  We want to keep you safe while you are online.
• All comments go to the Director’s email prior to posting.  Please don’t expect to see your post right away.

• At the bottom of this blog is an RSS feed for readers such as Goggle Reader.  In addition to all of the other benefits of an RSS feed, it will prompt you to the latest postings on this blog.  If you would like to set up a Google Reader, please let me know and I would be happy to help you along the way.
• If you are typing for your child, please be sure you are their typist and not their editor.  We want to hear their voice come through with each comment.
• Many children will be posting on their own, but they are still writer’s “under construction.”  Celebrate their learning with them with an understanding heart, but please feel free to comment on the various posts.  They love to hear from “Cast Member ___’s  Mom, or Dad, or grandparents!

Happy Posting Everyone!!

That’s a wrap!  Director Johnson
