The Week of November 25th
Another short but busy week in first grade! There will be no spelling words. We will be making friendship soup on Monday and enjoying it at the end of the day. Thank you so much for sending in the items that we need!
On Tuesday our dog friends will be back. We are so thankful that Mr. and Mrs. Edkins volunteer their time every other week to come in with their dogs. The dogs are always dressed in their very best outfits! We are wondering what they will be wearing this week! Our class made them Thanksgiving cards in tech lab as a way of saying thank you.
Have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving!

The Week of November 4th
This week we will begin a unit on families. We will share our family posters (which look great on our bulletin board) So many people stop and look at the wonderful first grade families!!!!
I am looking forward to meeting and chatting to each one of you this week! Remember each day is a half day and there is no school on Thursday and Friday.

Our word wall words for the next two weeks are: how, many, on, they,why, went, walk, did, saw, me.
