Dear Parents,
Homecoming Week was so much fun. The kids had a great time dressing up and they all looked so cute in their outfits. We did manage to go on with learning this week:). In writing we started a new unit. So far we've focused on ways to make our writing easier to read for others. We finished up our Things that Go unit in reading and our Science unit on Energy and Motion. In Bible we learned about Abraham and Sarah's miracle baby, Isaac, whose name means "laughter." Can you help your child find out what his/her name means?
We are going to have a lot of fun today starting out with our all school Pep Rally. Then our senior cheerleader, Abbie, will come to our room. We are going to do some learning centers today to apply lots of things we've been learning in class.
Next week we will start a social studies unit on Community Helpers (Careers). If you or a family member have a job that benefits our community and you'd like to come in and tell the class about it, that would be great! I can be flexible with times. Let me know a few good times and we'll schedule it. It's so good for our kids to see other people teaching in our classroom!
Here are a few notes and reminders:
*Scholastic Book orders are due Wednesday, 10/27. There are some great books at low prices. The kids have so much fun the day the books come in! Makes checks payable to "Scholastic"...Thanks!
*10/29 - Next Friday is First Grade Fall Fun Day. Almost everything is in place to make this a fantastic day for the kids. Pray that is not the day God sends the rain we need so badly. Remember kids can dress like a scarecrow or a pumpkin. If you volunteered to come that day, please arrive around 8:45 to help set up. The kids will be done with chapel, organize in the classrooms and be ready to start at 9:15. I will tell you where to go that morning. If you can, please send in one bag of non chocolate candy for the hay hunt! See you there!
*11/11 - Great Explorations Field Trip! We will be extending our Community Helper unit by visiting this fun museum. We'll wear Red shirts and leave the school at 10:30. We'll arrive back around 2:00. We'll eat lunch before we go and a big snack when we get back. Please send in $8.00 to cover the cost by Wednesday, Nov. 3rd. Parents are welcome and will need to pay $7.00 at the door that day.
*The big Auction is coming soon. I hope to see everyone Thursday night the 4th of November!
Our Star Student is Jasmine!
Our Secret Word is "Mustangs."
Have a wonderful weekend!
