Sept. 17, 2010
Dear Parents,

We have had a great week! We finished our class rules, we wrote our hopes and dreams for the year, we decided on class jobs, we met our class pets, and we wrote about our first 12 days of school. We opened our class library, we talked about how to choose books that are just right for us, and we sang some great songs. Lastly, the students were so excited and proud to put up their “locker notes” from you telling them what you love about them! Thank you.

We began our fall Social Studies unit called Long Ago and Today. First and Second graders will be classifying things from the past and the present, and studying how some things change over time while other things remain the same.

Class volunteers: thank you, everyone, for sending in your "volunteer forms" telling us to what degree in in what capacity you could help out in our class this year. I love to have parents in the class, and as soon as we get our assessments done and our regular lessons up and running, I'll contact you to connect on how you would most like to participate.


Upcoming events:

Class Pictures (This Weds. 8:00 a.m. before our field trip): The individual pictures will be taken on “Retake” day – TBA. Note: This year the photo company has informed us that there will be an extra charge for picture orders that arrive after the pictures have been taken.

Shelburne Farms (Weds. 8:45 a.m. - 1:30 p.m). Please bring a bag lunch from home.

Curriculum Night and Dessert Social (Weds. 6:30-8:00 p.m.): see the orange colored paper in the Friday Folder. We hope you can make it. Sorry, we can’t invite students to this event.

Happy Birthday, Olivia Roberts!

Have a great weekend, Everyone.

Sincerely,

David
