Volunteers Needed

To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, the first graders will be participating in a grade level story and craft program on Friday, October 25th from 12:00-1:00 pm. The students will be able to weave their own miniature tapestry after listening to the story. I would love to have 4 volunteers to help assist the kids with this activity. Please email me at amanda.vanoss@gcisd.net if you would like to volunteer! It will be first come first serve based on when I receive emails. Thank you so much! 

Upcoming Curriculum 

Language Arts: I can make inferences and use inferences to support understanding of what I read. 

Math: I can use objects and pictorial models to solve word problems involving joining, separating, and comparing sets. 

Science: Animals have different external structures, such as birds, mammals, and fish, that help them meet their basic needs for survival. Animals grow and change. Many young animals resemble their parents. Life cycles show how animals go through a pattern where they are born or hatched, grow, and become adults.

Social Studies: I can explain that a community is a group of people who live and learn in the same place. 

This year 5th graders are volunteering their time for community service. This information and link is for a time to play board games with 5th graders from Glenhope. One of them has a first grade sibling, so they want to share their excitement about playing games with first grade Gators. It sounds like a fun opportunity for the kids to enjoy some time together outside of school.

This is Matthew's Zevakhin mom. Matthew likes board games and participates in community hours project. He did in the past an event for local library where kids played board games, so we planned the same here. I asked 5th graders if they have kids who'd like to join and we found another Matthew from Ms. Hayes's classroom. They met, played games and decided what they offer for the first graders.

I shared this invitation to the FB group for the first graders, but I wanted to share with you if you know kids. This is a google sign up for the free board games event for just Glenhope First graders where both Matthews will play with first graders. We hope to get 4-6 kids, we don't even need more or will do another event for everyone who signs up.

I decided to share this link with you as we plan it for Oct, 13 and in case you know kids who are interested and would like to join:
