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 $80 so
far! That means we have enough for one
child. Let’s see if we can bring in
enough for the other child this week. 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.
If you haven’t checked our class blog lately, you
are missing out on seeing some great pictures of our activities in first
grade. Maybe Grandma and Grandpa would
like to see our blog, too!
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.
