The First Full Week of the Year!

Monday = A Tuesday = B Wednesday = C Thursday = D Friday = A


Hello families! We have almost made it to our first full week of school in 2011! No snow days, no holidays, just time for learning and LOTS of catch-up from all of these missed days. Be sure to check tomorrow's newsletter carefully for updates on many of our upcoming activiites. Some important dates and things to remember:

1. Friday (tomorrow) is MOVIE NIGHT! First grade is sponsering tomorrow's movie night. We will be showing Shrek Forever After. It starts at 6pm and ends at 9pm. Hope to see you!

2. Monday January 31 is 100's Day! Can you believe we've been in first grade for nearly 100 days? In honor of this big day, the kids have been given an assignment. They need to try and wear clothes with numbers on them on Monday as well as bring their bag of 100 items (a note went home two weeks ago, with another reminder earlier this week).

3. Conference slips are due back ASAP. I have received almost all of them back, but am missing a few. Please let me know when a good time is to meet and talk about all of the wonderful things your child is doing!

4. Valentine's Day party is Monday February 14.

5. Conferences are February 16-17.

6. No school February 18-21!

Have your child tell you about all of the amazing things we've been learning about in first grade. Here is a list of conversation starter-themes:

*Martin Luther King Jr.
*Penguins
*Venn Diagrams
*Mr. Munch
*Matter


Let me know if you have any questions. Hope to see many of you tomorrow at movie night!
