Thank you!

Thank you to all the families that donated so we could buy Sophia her gifts for the holidays.  Today was the drop off day, so here are all the wonderful things we were able to get her. As you can she, she loves the movie Frozen and will have a beautiful comforter, pillow, and blanket set in her bedroom.  This is one of the few items she asked for.  Happy holidays to all of your families and thank you again for your generous donations.  It feels good to know we helped a family during the holidays!!!!

Happy holidays!

Dear families,

Happy holidays to you!  This is a busy time of year with all the holidays and conferences!  I really enjoyed meeting with all the families to discuss your child's progress.  

I would like to thank all the families that donated to our Gifts for Kids program.  I'm so grateful to be working with such caring families.  We have raised over $175 for Sophia.  With this money we will be able to get her the Frozen comforter she wanted as well as, a Frozen pillow and blanket, books, arts and crafts, socks, pajamas, and a few other things. Thank you again!  It means so much to me!

Here are a few things going on in first grade...

Math- We have been working hard on making survey questions, collecting data, and making representations of the data.  The children really seem to be getting the hang of this.

Writing- we are taking a break from narrative writing (small moments) and have switched gears to informative writing.  The children are busy writing teaching books where they teach their reader about something the know a lot about (dogs, cape cod, riding a bike).

Reading- We continue to work hard at retelling stories that have a beginning,middle, and end.  We have also focused on nonfiction texts as well.

Science-We have started learning about organisms (plants and seeds).  We planted seeds last Friday and today some have started to grow roots!

Reminders...

Just a gentle reminder to please return book envelopes on Fridays.  This is the day we switch over our books for the next week.  Thank you!

Volunteers...hopefully everyone got the signupgenius invitation to come into the classroom and volunteer.  If you didn't get the invite or those times don't work for you, lemme know and we will figure out a different day/time for you to come in.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me at hherring@email.medfield.net 

Thank you,

Heather
