Dear Parents,
Happy Friday! Did you feel the hint of fall this week? We had a fabulous week in first grade! Our reading groups all moved up a level...wow! In writing we learned about how to write an "Oreo Story." A great story is like an Oreo cookie. It has a beginning and an end, but the middle is the best part. You will see these coming home next week. In reading and science we have been learning about animals. We read a class story about baby animals. In science today we learned about six types of animals. Then we looked through magazines and found those types to glue to our posters. Come see these hanging in our classroom! We have been learning about Noah in Bible. He obeyed God all the time, even when it was hard.
Here are a few updates and reminders:
*Our first field trip is officially scheduled for Wednesday, October 6th. We will leave school and head to the Science center at about 8:45. We'll return around 10:45. Our class will all wear red shirts that day (if your child doesn't have a red one, let me know and I will borrow one from the office). We will return after lunch has been served, so we will all have to bring a lunchbox that day. We'll eat outside when we return. Let me know if you'd like to join us. Don't worry if you can't, we'll have another field trip in November to Great Explorations.
*DATE CHANGE - Our Animal Day celebration will be Friday, October 1st instead of Thurs. the 30th. Your child should come to school that day dressed like an animal. Remember, costumes can be simple. This will be a fun opportunity for you and your child to get creative:). We will also eat lots of different foods that animals eat that day. Next Friday you will receive a request to send an item for us.
*There will be no chapel on Friday, Oct. 1st because we are having a special chapel that Wednesday as part of Hispanic Heritage week.
*Next week is Spiritual Emphasis Week in the middle and high school. They are doing a food drive to fill the currently empty food pantry at Northside Thrift. If you would like to donate some food, please send ramen noodles, peanut butter and jelly (plastic containers only) in any day next week.
*There are sign up sheets on our door. Mrs. Hernandez needs volunteers to help with Hispanic Heritage Day.
Our Star Student next week will be Skyler.
Our secret word is "mammal".
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Newland
