Where'd the week go?

Hi families! I sit here again and cannot believe that it is already Thursday. What a great week we've had in first grade. As usual, we have been busy. Has your child told you about our new word in first grade: "perspective"? We learned this new word last week and created some terrific art displaying our newfound perspective. We can't wait for you to come to school next week for conferences and see it! Speaking of conferences, did you get your confirmation time slot last week? Don't forget that this year we are trying "Student-Led" conferences so that your first grader may showcase what they are learning and what we are currently working on as we near the spring. Your child is expected to attend the conference with you next week, so please keep that in mind. They are in charge! Let me know if you need to change your time or if you are unsure of your scheduled appointment. I am looking forward to seeing you! Also, has your child started their Valentine's Day box? Please be sure to read the pink note that came home on Tuesday. Our first graders need to decorate a box for our Valentine's Day party next week. We are asking for the boxes to be returned to school on Monday. Our Valentine's Day party will be held next Tuesday February 12 at 2:30. You are welcome to join us. If you child chooses to hand out Valentine's, please help them provide one for each member of our class family. A list of our classmates was included on the pink note! As always, let me know if you need anything. Have a wonderful night!
