The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Good Morning!

Although this time of year brings about a lot of busy, busy, busy, it also brings cheer and excitement and a wonder that you can't get any other time. Here at school we are starting off the week with some narrative writing, adding and subtracting with word problems, and discovering how maps work.  During writing, we are learning how to use details to add a beginning that begs to be read. Along with that, the students are really focused on correctly applying the capitalization and punctuation. 

Around the room there are sprinkles of Christmas cheer. As the weeks progress, more and more will be added. An elf may visit us as well...

NOTE: There is NO math homework this week. We are focusing on reading and getting back into our routine.

Upcoming Events:

Wednesday, November 30: Library

Wednesday, December 7: Holiday Shop at 10:00 a.m. 

Friday, December 9: PBIS Assembly

Monday, December 12 - Friday, December 23: 10 Days of Festivities for the First Grade - Look for a calendar of events in your child's folder.

Planning ahead: Instead of exchanging gifts, each students is asked to bring in a small stocking stuffer for everyone in class. The gift can be small candy, erasers, bouncy balls, markers, little cars, miniature play - doe, candy canes, etc. This should not be expensive. We make stockings in school, and a little elf fills them the night of the 22nd: ). If you are able to participate, please send in your gift by Monday, December 19th.  Thank you so much!
