Announcement!!

March 16, 2012
Dear parents and caregivers,

I have a couple of announcements! First, our class has been chosen to receive a grant from Pet Smart to have a class pet! I am thinking about getting a hamster for the class. Please let me know ASAP if your child has any allergies! Please let me know by Wednesday, March 21.

Second, in history we are learning about long ago and present day America. This means we are looking at when you all were children. Please have conversations with your children about how life has changed, such as technology, education, and transportation. With this unit, we are also looking at time lines. I will be asking each student to complete his or her own time line. We will be working on them in class, but I would like students to bring in pictures from each year of their life. So your child should bring in 5-7 pictures. If you do not have any it is okay, after all we are artist and can make our own! ☺

Third, we will be doing a community service event on Friday, March 30. We will be thanking some of our own heroes! A lot of us know people who are in the military and have served in the war. So first grade is taking time to write letters of thanks and hosting a playtime at the park with them. We will be playing games with some actual service men and women. If you know any service men and women, please invite them. It will be on Friday, March 30 from 2:45 to 4:00 pm.

Lastly, we have a class website! This website has pictures of your students learning and having fun and is also a way to keep updated on the latest news, reminders, and announcements in first grade. The website is afcsfirstgrade.blogpot.com. Thank you!

We have been on school for 100 days... Which means we are 100 days smarter! We made piggy banks and write what we wanted to be on them! Then we counted 100 pennies which we found out makes $1! :) We had lots of fun!!
