Checking in!

I can't believe I've already been out a month. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying Mr. Overstreet. Baby Turner is growing so fast! I hope to come by the fall festival and see all your smiling faces.

Wow!

It's hard to believe we are nearing the end of our second week of school.  It has been great so far! I am so encouraged my our students wonderful manners and eagerness to learn. Keep up the great work!

It's almost time!

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer break. I'm looking forward to a new school year! I will be the writing and language teacher this year.  As most know, I am expecting a baby boy at the end of August. I will be starting the school year and working until he arrives!

We will be talking about nouns for the next few weeks.  We have already covered common and proper.  We are currently working on singular and plural, and we will be moving on to possessive nouns.  Below you will find a link that has other links to practice singular and plural nouns.
