Dear Parents,
Wow! Our book has been sent to the publisher!
It is so hard to believe we are half way through second quarter.
Your children are doing an awesome job progressing in the content areas across the curriculum! It brings a smile to my face to see their enthusiasm for learning new things each day!
The students were assessed in Reading class this week.
Please review math facts on a regular basis with your children.
The students will not have any homework next week.
I would like for the first graders to bring their turkeys for “Share and Tell” tomorrow. Also, please have your children bring a joke to tell for “Share and Tell” tomorrow. The students love telling jokes!
The first graders are starting a new reading book. Please have your children read “On My Way to School” and “It’s About Time”.
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!
Have a wonderful weekend!
