November 5th - 9th

Happy Fall! We hope everyone enjoyed their extra hour this weekend.

Thanks for everyone who took the opportunity to come to see Wreck It Ralph with the class. It was a great time. If you missed it, we will also be meeting up in the future for Monsters Inc, and Legends of the Guardians. I love seeing you guys outside of class and it really was a special day today! Thanks guys!

Also remember that Ms. Heine loves to visit sporting events and dance classes. Please let me know if you have one and I will put it on my schedule :)

Thanks to all the parents who have volunteered to help with the First Grade Harvest Day! Also thanks to our Watch Dog dads for pitching in to help with some pretty fun and helpful tasks. We are so thankful for all of our parent partners who help us each week.


This week:

• Report cards will come home along with a matrix of what each score category means.
• Field Trip permission slips and fees are needed asap. We need to have an accurate lunch count for the cafeteria and also to be able to make payment to the Zach Scott Theatre. We are excited about this learning opportunity.
• Picture retakes are this week. If you have photos and would like retakes, please allow students to return the pictures and they can have a retake done this week. Also if your child was absent on picture day, or new to the school, then they will need to take retakes that day, even if not needing to order a package.
