Thanks for sending in ingredients to make the yummy bean soup possible. The young chefs had a blast with the prep work and many enjoyed it for lunch.

Have you heard about Lucky our class pet? Thanks to Emi and Lilli's parents we now have a Russian tortoise in our room and the children are very excited. Please know that you are welcome to take Lucky home on Friday when your child is star of the week.

The Halloween Parade is on Friday at 10:30 with our class party to follow at 11:30. Hope we see you there.

First Grade Homework

It has been shown that support from home can boost learning. Therefore, I highly recommend that each day you work with your child reviewing the skills in reading, writing and math previously taught in class.

There are many fun and interactive ways to help your child. You may use the resources listed on this site or the ones on our school's website for ideas.

Having taught first grade for twenty years, I have found that daily reading, writing and math support at home is very important for your child's success in first grade.

Star Of The Week

The focus of Star of the Week is the rich history of your family's ancestry and their role in our community. Star of the Week covers mapping, understanding that people, places and things change over time, and understanding we all have roles in the community.

Monday – Send in a poster about the Star and his/her family.

Tuesday - Send in a simple family tree.

Wednesday - Send in a map showing family origins and any cultural items.

Thursday - 12:45-1:10 Parents come in to talk about their jobs, family history, hobbies and/or interests. This would be a great day for you to share some cultural food with us if you like.
