 Hi,

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. It was awesome to see so many of you at Parent Teacher Conferences. Please continue to read and practice math facts.

Each student has a packet with a stapled note about our upcoming December homework. We talked about it this morning at our morning meeting, and they are supposed to show an adult these important papers when they get home.

They also all have their spelling lists. 

Looks like winter is here to stay!❅❆ They had lots of fun playing in the little bit of snow/ice today at recess.

Please be sure that your child has the appropriate clothing to play outside…..hat, gloves, boots, snow pants, and a warm jacket. If possible please label your child’s winter items. This helps ensure items do not get switched or lost, and makes getting ready for recess and home easier. If you do not have any of these items please let me know.

Please send in some shoes that your child can change into. Our floor and rug areas get very wet from the winter boots and it becomes a safety issue. Also feet do get hot in their winter boots if they are worn all day.  If you want to send in a pair of shoes that can remain in our classroom all winter long that is fine. We have a safe spot to keep them. Please just let me know if that is your plan.

**December 20th Early Dismissal

 We had an amazing visit from Cynthia Lord. We learned lots about her books, 

and what it takes to be an author. Be sure to ask your student about it. The students were also such respectful listeners.

 

We had an amazing trip to the fire station. Thank you Firefighters for the fun time. We saw lots and learned a bunch, too.

 

 Some important upcoming dates/events for Grade One

We are going on a field trip to the Orrington Fire Station on Friday, the 25th. (Hopefully there are no emergencies🤞) We will be gone for a little more than hour. Our visit time is from 9:00 to 10:00. We are grateful to the firefighters for letting us come see the station.


On Halloween……We will have a pj day!!! We will participate in some Halloween themed activities, and have some treats. If you wish to send some treats in for the class to share we have 17 friends.
