Week of December 5, 2016

We had a very busy week!

Monday we had a great assembly with Steve Seskin.  The songwriter of the song and story, Don’t Laugh At Me.  The book was shared with us on Tuesday for our Cornerstone lesson with Mrs. Kasenchak and Mrs. Dupree.  Wednesday we had a YSI (Youth Science Institute) Presentation on Insects and Arthropods.  We learned about their body parts and their life cycle.  We saw some live insects too, including a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach, Stink Bug, Golden Knee Tarantula, and a Vinegaroon.

Friday, December 9th, the first graders will sing as a gift to you.  The show will begin at 2:10 prompt in the cafeteria.  Students can wear their Holiday outfit for the performance.  If your child wishes, they may wear a Santa hat.  Please no reindeer antlers, bells, or hats that would obstruct the view of another child.  I hope you can make it!
If you would like to contribute to the One Warm Coat Drive, the AV Student Council will be accepting gently used coats and jackets next week in the cafeteria (before school), December 5-12. Thank you for your consideration to help others.

Thank you to all our classroom helpers this week!  Thank you!!

Enjoy a great weekend!
