Conferences

Welcome back from mid-winter break!  Hopefully, you had some time to spend quality time with your family.  As we return back to our learning, we will be focused greatly on expectations this week.  Also, conferences are next week!  If you have not signed up for your conference day and time, please do so as soon as possible by going to the PTCFast link listed below:

Our field trip to the Wharton Center performance The Rabbit and the Moon! at the Abrams Planetarium will be next week.  This field trip will be for students and teachers only since we receive our tickets at a discounted price and space is limited.  We are so excited to be able to provide this experience to our first grade students.  

This Wednesday is an early release day.  The students will be dismissed at 1:50 pm.  Please remember to have your child wear athletic shoes on Monday and Thursday for Kinetics.  Library books should be returned on Wednesday and are due back Thursday.

Valentine's Day

On Thursday, our class will be spending a small amount of our afternoon celebrating Valentine's Day.  We will be decorating a bag to collect Valentines and then passing our Valentine's Day cards out to our friends.  We will not be having a big party to celebrate Valentine's Day as our time is limited due to having two specials in the afternoon.  Your child may bring in his or her Valentine's Day cards on Thursday or before Thursday.  Please make sure that your child writes each child's name on his or her Valentine's Day cards.  The students love delivering their cards to their classmates by reading the names and locating each student's Valentine's Day bag.  Thank you for your help with this at home.

This Wednesday is a full day of school.  There is no school this Friday or next week. This Wednesday is a Galaxy Day.  Please make sure that your child wears his or her Sycamore shirt. Please remember to have your child wear athletic shoes on Monday and Thursday for Kinetics.  Library books should be returned on Wednesday and are due back Thursday.
