What a wonderful way to end our week with First Grade Fall Fun Day. It is always one of the favorite activities in first grade, mostly because so many moms and dads come to make it special! From Face Painting to Apple Biting to the Obstacle Course to the 3-legged race to the Hay Hunt...they love every minute of it! Thanks to everyone who donated items and worked so hard to make this day a success!
Here are a few notes and reminders:
*Our field trip to Great Explorations will be on Thursday, November 11th. Please send in $8.00 to cover the cost of the trip by 11/3. Let me know in your child's agenda sometime if you will be joining us.
*This Thursday, November 4th is our Winter Wonderland Auction for the kids. If you haven't had a chance, come look at our class plate that will be auctioned off in the silent auction. It's on our back counter. It is so cute...more than one mommy has been brought to tears.
*We kicked off Operation Christmas Child in chapel today. This is an amazing opportunity to teach our children that there are so many less fortunate than we are. Our class goal is to have two boxes from each child. I will send home a list in next Friday's folder of the items you can send in for our boxes. If it is a hardship for your family at this time, I certainly understand. Just let me know and I will find another way to get those items.
This week in Bible we talked about how hard it is to obey sometimes. We listened to stories and acted out some difficult situations for first graders. We learned that we can obey our parents, teachers. and God even when it is hard. It would be great for you to follow up on this discussion at home this weekend! I love your children. We work hard and have so much fun together every day!

Have a wonderful Weekend!
