Dear Families,
I hope you had a happy and healthy
Thanksgiving. I am so thankful that the weather finally has been warm enough
for the children to play outside for some of the days. With the breaks, we have
been able to get a lot accomplished. Math Unit 4 will be finished next week and
should come home before Winter Break. We will also finish another Literacy Unit
(3) and Social Studies Unit (3). You will be able to view grades on the Parent
Portal until December 7 when the portal will close for teachers to input grades
for the report card. Report cards will come home on January 14.
By this time of year, first graders should
know at least the first 50 sight words. I will be testing students to make sure
they know them. I will send a list soon if your child needs more practice. Please
help them learn these important words. Thank you for all you do to help your
child be most successful.
The Pizza Hut Book-It program continues
this month. I will take November sheets for another week. I sent December’s
sheet home on Tuesday.
With Winter Break nearly upon us, I want to
wish you Happy Holidays. If you need ideas for stocking stuffers or little
Hanukkah gifts, crayons (If
you sent in two boxes at the beginning of the year, I will give them their next
box in January.),
markers and glue sticks are in need of replacement.
Our party on the 17th will be a
breakfast theme from 8:30 – 9:30.
Sincerely, Susan Stark
