Dear Families,
Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
This week in First Grade we will be learning about poetry, fractions of shapes, Black History, and rocks and soil. Please continue to practice our poem with your little one. Our Poetry Cafe is this Thursday at 6PM.
Next week is Valentine's Day! On Tuesday, February 14th, we will not have a party, but we will be exchanging and opening our valentines right before our regular snack time. The kiddos will be making their own bags at school, and I will send a list home this Tuesday. We had fun celebrating the 100th day of school, but the children were a bit disappointed that they didn't get to make posters at home or a trail mix at school, so we will do this on the 120th day at the end of this month. I will send more details soon.
Conference Day is also coming up, on Monday, Feb. 20th. I have been talking to our Second Grade Team to determine what they would like First Graders to master before they begin Second Grade. I will send a conference form home next week.
I will not be at school tomorrow, so just a reminder that books will not come home, but homework will. Also a reminder to let you know that we are running low on paper plates, small ziplocs, glue sticks, chlorax wipes, and crayons.
Thanks for all you do!
For the Children,
Gretchen Farris
