First Grade Friday News - December 13


I am overwhelmed by your generous offerings to buy gifts for children in the foster care system.  Our class was able to buy gifts for three children! 

Our class Christmas party will be on Friday, December 20, at 2:00.  Our room mothers are planning games and refreshments for the party.  All parents are welcome to attend.  We will have a gift exchange among the first graders. For our gift exchange this year, each child should bring a wrapped gift.  Please do not spend more than $5.  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 by Monday, December 16.

  • All students should take at least one AR test each week.  Please listen to your child read his or her AR book twice and discuss the story.
  • Your child may take AR tests over books that you have in your home library.  Look on the accelerated website to be sure that the book is included in the AR list.  After your child has read the book twice, send a note with the title and author indicating that your child is ready to take a test.
