Welcome Back

Welcome Hawks old and new. 

Hillgrove is now in its third year.  Time has gone by so fast.

We have a new classroom.  We will now be in room 2305 instead of 2304.  We have moved right across the hall.  We now have a window in our classroom that overlooks the football field and a nice row of trees.

See you all very soon.  Remember the first day of school is Aug. 11, 2008.  All students will need to report to homeroom first.

Security Hawks will be in full circle for the first home football game.

Welcome Back

Welcome old and new Hawks!

Our first year has come and gone, now it is time to move on.  With new traditions in place, Hillgrove Hawks are ready to go.  This will be an exciting year for Hillgrove, our first graduating Senior class.

Just a reminder that school begins on Monday, Aug. 13, 2007

Security Hawks are in place and ready to go.  Please listen to the morning and afternoon announcements for meeting times in my classroom, #2304.  Shirts are almost here.......

Open House

Hello again, younger Hawks and parents.

I just want to remind you that our Open House will be on Thursday begining at 7:00pm.  Please come by the classroom and see what we have been up to sence the Christmas break.

In Social Studies, we have been learning the states and capitals.  We have just started the three Branches of Government and I hope the students are having fun with it. 

In Science, we have been studing the Solar System.  We really enjoyed learning about our planets and stars.  We have just started the systems of the Human Body.  It is going slow, but I think the students are learning more that I could have ever hoped for.

Talk with your student about their likes and dislikes about the classroom.  I want them to be excited about learning.  If there is something that I can do differently to keep their attention and yours, I am certainly open for any suggestions.  I beleive that open communication is the best way to help "our" students with success.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at 678-315-0309.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
