WEEK OF FEBRUARY 13-17, 2012

FIRST GRADE NEWS

THE NEXT TWO WEEKS WILL EACH BE FOUR DAYS FOR STUDENTS.  THIS FRIDAY, THE 17TH WILL BE AN ACT 80 DAY (NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS) AND THE FOLLOWING MONDAY WILL BE AN IN-SERVICE DAY FOR TEACHERS, SO AGAIN STUDENTS WILL BE OFF.  THEY WILL HAVE A 4-DAY WEEKEND FOR PRESIDENTS' DAY!

WE WILL HAVE OUR SPELLING PRACTICE TEST ON WEDNESDAY AND THE SECOND TEST ON THURSDAY.  WE WILL HAVE OUR READING STORY TEST ON THURSDAY (ON "I'M A CATERPILLAR").  WE WILL ALSO HAVE A MATH WRITTEN ASSESSMENT ON THURSDAY.

SINCE THE STUDENTS ARE OFF ON FRIDAY, WE WILL SEND HOME THE FRIDAY FOLDERS ON THURSDAY.  YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR YOUR CHILD'S PROGRESS REPORT IN THE FOLDER (THESE DO NOT NEED TO BE SIGNED OR RETURNED).  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REPORT, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME BY E-MAIL OR BY PHONE.

OF COURSE THE BIG NEWS THIS WEEK IS THE VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON.  PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD BRINGS THEIR VALENTINES FOR THE CLASS BY TUESDAY MORNING.  WE WILL DELIVER THE VALENTINES AT THE PARTY AND THEN, HAVE OUR SUNDAES, DRINKS AND CHEESE PUFFS.  THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME TIME FOR SOME FUN GAMES.
