Dear Parents,October 28, 2016

We had a busy week. We went on two field trips,had  two birthday celebrations, and we met with our third grade reading buddies to play Worm Bin Bingo. Your children are first grade scientists.

Monday, October 31 is an early release day. Please send a note to let me know how your child will get home. We will have a Halloween party in our class on Monday. Students may bring their costumes and change into them before the party. Costumes need to be appropriate for school. We will have a special snack and activities. Thank you to the parents who are organizing this.
