Thanks!

Thanks to you all for coming last night to Meet the Teacher! I really enjoyed meeting all of you. I look forward to getting to know you all a little better once school starts. Meet the Teacher can be overwhelming when it comes to getting to know you all! Mrs. Crawford and I were here from 7:00-5:30 yesterday. Needless to say it was a long day! However, it was nice to arrive home to dinner being ready! Hopefully that'll stick around once school starts! Our poor dog is not happy at all that I'm back in school. She has really enjoyed being able to lay around the house over the summer. We took her on a long walk around downtown last night. We stopped to spy on the filming of Homeland for a little bit. We saw Claire Danes signing autographs. They are usually filming in an old fire station around the corner from our place. However, last night they were on the corner of Tryon and 7th.

Last night, I gave you some links regarding our photos, class website, etc. To make it easy on you and the kids, I use a website called Symbaloo. It's kinda laid out like apps on an iPhone. Except for apps, you will find links to websites.
1. Go to www.symbaloo.com
2. Click LogIn. Username is pfountza@fort-mill.k12.sc.us
3. Password is 123456
4. Once you're logged in, you will see several tabs at the top. They will read "Students" Parents" and "Ashley" Here I have all of my favorite sites bookmarked. Feel free to have the children use this site as well. We will use this in the classroom. At this age, it's much easier on the kids and the teacher when they websites don't have to by typed in! :)

Here is our sweet dog Betty. She is our 7 year old Beagador. :)
I have tried and tried to rotate this picture, but it just won't work!
