Week of October 15, 2018


We had an exciting week!
Our class really enjoyed the play on Tuesday.  Thank you Mahshad, Kym, and Shalee for keeping us all together.  The Elephant and Piggie book series by Mo Willems are great for first graders.  
Thursday we had our first clay project.  Thank you to Mrs. Winn for leading and parents for helping us with our projects.  

Today, we had a great time in the MakerSpace creating with cardboard!  Thank you to all our parent helpers!

Please return your AV School Library book on Monday.  I do remind the students to check their backpack for their books, but I do not check it for them; if you pack the book for your child, let them know as well.
I hope to see you tomorrow at the Walk-a-Thon!  Make sure your child is wearing their Walk-a-Thon t-shirt if they pre-registered, so they can collect lap tallies.  Here is the website if you need more information. http://altavistawalkathon.org
