A huge shout out goes to our room parents for helping our class have fun fall centers today. We painted pumpkins and they are still a little wet, so they will go home on Monday. Monday is Halloween but there are no special events that day. We will have business as usual that day.

Weekly update

Hi Everyone!

Next week is a busy one!

Please remember your conference time. It seems like everyone needed the same day and time so we are pretty booked back to back on times.

Reminder:

12:30 dismissal all week!

Specials schedule and lunch schedule are changed too.

Specials are 9:30-10:00

Lunch is 11:07-11:37

 

This week we celebrated two birthdays and had a mystery reader.

 

Next Friday is our Fall Festival. A ticket envelope when home to purchase tickets. I attended last year (and probably this year) and it was fun! Tickets are needed for the inflatables.

 

Next week is our Book Fair. We will visit the book fair on Monday and write a wish list. The book fair will be open during conference week. The book fair benefits the library and our school.

 

Please remember to turn in your blue Jump Rope for Heart form. If you cannot donate that is ok! BUT we need your support in signing the form so your child can participate during the Jump Rope for Heart day. If I get 100% signed forms our class earns a new kick ball!

 

There is also a flyer from Mrs. White regarding the First Grade Musical. This year there is an option to buy a t-shirt. If you want your child to have a solo, please sign and return the form ASAP.

 

We will have shortened lessons next week but it still will be full of learning.
