Update December 2nd

*On Tuesday morning, we have School Store for first grade.  This might be a good opportunity for your child to pick up a small gift for a sibling, cousin or friend at school store for the holidays.

*This Thursday, December 6th is an 12:20pm Early Dismissal Day.  We will have snack in the morning.  Please send a note if your child's dismissal plans are changed for the day.

*We will travel to Crisafulli on Friday from 9:45-11:00 to visit our 4th Grade Book Buddies!  Please dress students for the weather, boots are probably best for the trail.

*Please continue to spend in water bottles to school with your child.  We take frequent water breaks to refuel our body and mind for learning.

*The Turkey Trot on Thursday was a great success!  The students enjoyed running, walking and dancing throughout the course.

*Last week, the students did a great job creating goods to sell at the businesses.  They are all anxious to now sell what they've made.  On Wednesday, the students will take turns "buying" from their classmates businesses.  They do not need to bring money from home, we will use play money to "buy" our goods.

*In Math, we will focus on collecting data, using tally charts and bar graphs.  We will also practice addition facts.

*In reading groups, we will focus on character's feelings.  Students will write about how the character is feeling in their reading response journal.

*In Writing, our focus is using transition words and "fancy" words in our writing.

*Our Winter Party is scheduled for Friday, December 21st from 12:45-1:30.  I will send out an email shortly to check in with donations and parent volunteers.  Thanks!
