It was wonderful to see many of you at

Back to School Night. I hope you enjoyed

your stay in first grade and found the night

informative and also, got a feel of life as a first

grader. As always, please feel free to contact 

me with any questions or thoughts you may have.

Some Nuts and Bolts Reminders

Daily Snack - Please send in a little extra snack for the afternoon - our lunch time is 11:30.

The children are often hungry by 2:00.

Birthdays - You may send in a special snack to celebrate your child's "special" day.

First Friday - First Fridays happen the first Friday of each month - please feel free to pop in

between 8:00-8:20 and your first grader will take you on a tour of the work that is on display and share a few things they have been working on. It is an informal time and your child will be the guide as you tour the classroom.

School-to-Home Folders - will be sent home each Thursday and should be returned to school on Friday. Please empty the pocket on the left and return any papers, forms, notes in the pocket on the right.
