Library Day

Welcome to 2012! I hope you had a wonderful holiday. We had a fabulous time at Anna's graduation. Now I'm just praying there is a job in her future! Since this is our first week back I wanted to remind everyone that tomorrow (Thursday) is library day. Please help your student remember his/her library books. Thanks so much!

As you know, I won't be here tomorrow. I will be attending my daughter's college graduation in New York. I've left plans for the substitute. She has been in my room before and is familiar with the routine. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with your families! Happy 2012!!!!

Just a reminder: Tomorrow is the Christmas program. The first graders sing at 9:30a.m. Please help your child pick an appropriate outfit for the stage. (No hats please) Thank You!

Your junk is my treasure!
If you are trying to make room for some of those new Christmas toys, I'd be happy to take a few things off your hands. I told the kids if they filled out their reading sheets over the break, they could visit my treasure box when they get back to school. I'm mostly looking for smaller items, like Happy Meal toys, Dollar Store goodies, etc. If you would like to donate to my Treasure Box, just send a sack of goodies in your child's book bag. Thanks!!!

We have been very busy this week getting ready for the Christmas program, learning poems, reading stories, and writing. We have been working on spelling correctly in our writing instead of doing a spelling list and test. We will do the same thing next week and begin spelling lists again after Christmas.
Thanks to all the parents who helped their student go over the Snow Day story and proofread for capitals and periods. If your student forgot to tell you about their homework, it will be in their bookbag tonight to finish over the weekend. Thank You!!
