Happy Thanksgiving!!

I'm so impressed with our students!  We made a Thanksgiving card for our families today and a few wrote in different languages.  

Have a wonderful week!

I first want to thank you for the many emails I received in concern of my son, Andreas.  He fell at school and we thought he might have broken his hand but the x-ray came out clean.  He's a little sore but on the mend. Thank you for your thoughts and well wishes. 

I’m attaching the Grandparent Interview, just in case you need it.

I did not send home homework lesson #13 today, I will send it home on Monday 11/28.  We will start Bonus Words next week.  I will post them in the Bear Print Newsletter.  I would really like students to focus on the list words first and foremost.  If they have the list words down they can practice the Bonus. 

Monday we will have an author visit from Steve Seskin.  He wrote the book, Don’t Laugh At Me.  

Tuesday we will have a Cornerstone lesson with Mrs. Kasenchak and Mrs. Dupree.  The book this month happens to be Don’t Laugh At Me. 

Wednesday we will have an in class YSI presentation on Insects and Arthropods.

Friday, December 9th, the first graders will sing as a gift to you.  The show will begin at 2:00 in the cafeteria.  

Thank you to all our classroom helpers this week in and out of the classroom! 

I hope you and your family will have a great Thanksgiving break.

It has been great meeting with all of you during parent-teacher conferences.  Thank you for taking time out of your schedules to meet with me.  Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any further questions or concerns.

Today, I sent home homework #12.  Don’t worry if you didn’t return #11 today, you can turn it in on Monday.

On Monday, the hearing bus will be here for a screening.

Next week I will send home the Grandparent (Or older friend/relative) Interview project.  This is to see how times have changed or stayed the same.  If you need an extra copy, it will be on our First Grade Information Page.

As a reminder there is no school tomorrow for Veteran’s Day (11/11).

Have a great weekend.

In Math, we are focusing finding the numbers that make 10 first and then adding the rest.

It has been nice meeting with you for our conferences. We will continue conferences and early dismissal time at 1:15 through Thursday. There is no school on Friday in observance of Veteran’s Day.

Your child may turn in their homework packet #11 early on Thursday or later on Monday. I will send home the next packet #12 on Thursday November 10th.

Save the date! Our First Grade Holiday Sing will be on Friday, December 9th at 2:00 pm. We will sing holiday songs for our families!

Remember that Daylight Savings Time ends. Hopefully, you got to enjoy an extra hour of sleep Sunday morning!

Thank you to our wonderful parent volunteers this week!
