August 16 Newsletter Highlights

The first two days of school have been wonderful. I hope your child thought so as well. If you hear of any problems or have any concerns please let me know immediately. Thanks.

Thanks to everyone for bringing in school supplies. It is greatly appreciated.

It has been brought to my attention that there is no pencil box on the supply list. While the children don't absolutely need one they might want a small pencil box. Whether you get this for your child is up to you.

Please check your child's folder every day. On Mondays I will be sending home the newsletter and other school information or requests.

I have attached a snack calendar to the newsletter. On your child's appointed day he/she should bring in a simple, nutritious, store bought snack to share with the class. She/he should bring enough for 28 children. Thank you.

If you have not done so already, please complete and return the Parent Questionnaire as soon as possible. Thanks!

I am looking forward to a great week. Hope you have a great week as well!

Welcome!

First grade is so exciting! I just love first grade and I am looking forward to a wonderful year!

Have a great week! (Well, a great Thursday and Friday)
