First Week

Dear Brown and Hill Families,

It has been a wonderful first three days. We are both extremely grateful to have met all of your wonderful students, and we are super excited to get started this year. Both classes began by establishing and learning procedures, participating in ice-breaker activities, and (re)familiarizing themselves with the building. Mr. Brown’s homeroom did the Treasure of Tragon, an algebraic puzzle, looked at the technology contract for using computers, and logged into the laptops with Mr. Hill. With Mr. Brown, they wrote Friday letters, started important work towards creating a class charter, and played the picture sentence game. The Sloths (Mr. Hill’s homeroom) worked on their charter by discussing 5th grade feeling words, and they played kickball with Mr. Hill. With Mr. Brown, they wrote Friday letters and played a name game.

We wanted to communicate a couple of other notes of interest. You should have received a paper invitation to class dojo from your student. If you need a log-in code, email Mr. Hill (jdhill@seattleschools.org). We use class dojo only as a secure way to share photos with parents. No personal information is used, and first name and last initial is used to identify students.

One last note, In case it comes up—Mr. Brown does allow gum in his room. It is not allowed anywhere else in the building or on the busses. If they want to bring gum, I allow students to chew it in the classroom. No bubble gum, though, please!

Have a great weekend.


Nathan and Josh
