First Grade Friday News - December 3

 

Chapel offerings during the second quarter will be collected to buy Christmas gifts for children in the foster care system in central Arkansas.  Our class has committed to buying gifts for two children.  We hope to collect $75 per child.  We have collected $58 so far!  Thank you for your generosity as we teach our children to share God’s love.

 Our class Christmas party will be on Friday, December 21, at 1:00.  Our room mothers are planning games and refreshments for the party.  All parents are welcome to attend.  For our gift exchange this year, each child should bring a wrapped gift ($5 value).  Boys should bring a boy gift and girls bring a girl gift.  The gift should be wrapped with a gift tag attached that indicates the name of the child bringing the gift.  These gifts should be brought to school any day before December 21.

First graders will now be expected to pass at least one AR test each week.  Children may take tests over school library books, books in our classroom, or books from home.  Children may take tests on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.  Children who have not passed an AR test by Thursday, will be asked to read during noon recess.
