Dear Families,
Happy New Year! I hope you all had very peaceful and happy times during the holidays with your adorable little ones. I miss them so much, and can't wait to hear about their adventures during our morning meeting. After we talk about the highlights of our winter break, we'll be going through the writing process: drafting, reading to a friend, revising, reading to the teacher, and publishing. Our First Graders love to read, but they love to read their own books most of all!
Since we'll only have 3 days together, we'll spend much of that time reviewing the essential agreements that make learning possible and make school safe and enjoyable for everyone. We'll also be making "snow creatures" and then reviewing our "how to" writing to let others know how to make them.
Please mark your calendar for Eden Park's IB info night. This will happen on January 16th at 5:30 until 7:00. Hope you can make it!
I'm excited to see everyone on Wednesday, January 3rd!
For the Children,
Gretchen Farris
