Dear Grade 1/2 Parents,

Well we survived our first full week of classes! We have done a lot of community building activities and are getting along great! We are just beginning to get into regular routines.

Spelling – A spelling list is coming home with your child today. This is the first list that they will need to study. The spelling test will be on Friday. We will work with the words in the classroom this week as well.

Class Pet – This week we welcomed Lightning, our class gerbil, into our classroom. We are learning about the needs of living things from the Science curriculum.

SMARTBoard – our SMARTBoard has been installed!

Absents – Please notify myself and the office if your child is going to be sick or away for an appointment.

Agenda - Please sign the agenda each day. Your signature tells me that you have seen the agenda and completed any homework sent home the night before. Feel free to add messages as needed.

Reading Records – The first reading record was due today. Another one (purple) has been sent home for this week.

Thank you for your help in getting this year off to a great start! Please feel free to contact me anytime with questions or concerns. I am here to help you and your child have a fabulous and successful year!
