Week of November 26, 2018


I hope you are enjoying some family time over our break.  I’m so thankful for having a wonderful first-grade class.
It was wonderful to meet with you at our parent-teacher conferences and talk about your child.  If you have any additional questions please let me know.
The first-grade classes have been working together and practicing holiday songs for our Holiday Sing coming up.  Save the date: Monday, December 10th, the show will begin at 2:00 in the cafeteria.
I did not send home homework last week.  I will send it home on Monday 11/26.
This week we will share our Grandparent (Or older friend/relative) Interview project.  This is to see how times have changed or stayed the same. I will attach a copy of the interview.

I will see you soon!
