Hello Parents! Happy Friday!
We had lots of birthdays in our classroom this week, and the kids are getting so excited for our field trip and fall party. It's been an exciting week! :)
Field Trip:
Our 1st grade field trip to Claude Moore Park and Heritage Farm Museum will be Friday, November 3rd. Information letters, permission slips and chaperone interest forms went home in yesterday's Thursday folder. Please kindly return the permission slip and payment as soon as possible. If you are interested in chaperoning this trip, please kindly return the chaperone interest form as soon as possible. Please contact me with any questions.
Pumpkins:
If you haven't yet sent your child's small ("pie-sized") pumpkin for our pumpkin investigation, please send it Tuesday...we will be using our pumpkins that day.
Parent Teacher Conferences:
Conferences will begin next week! If your conference is in the morning before school, I will meet you at the front door of the school to let you in since our office staff may not yet be here. You will not need to sign in. If your conference is after school, please ring the school visitor bell, be prepared to show your photo id to our office staff, and sign in at the office. You may walk to our classroom after you sign in.
Fall Party:
Please mark your calendar for our Fall party on Tuesday, October 31st from 1 - 2:15 pm in our classroom. All families are welcome to attend! (NO costumes, please.) I will send a food permission slip home before the party. Your child must have your written permission to eat any party food Our awesome team of Room Moms and I thank you for your donations. Your funds will be put to good use, as the ladies plan for our class celebrations.
Check Out Our 1st Grade Symbaloo Page:
Our Instructional Facilitator of Technology, Mrs. Clark, compiled a Symbaloo page for us! Symbaloo is a visual bookmarking tool that makes it simple and fun to organize multiple websites. Our 1st Grade Symbaloo has links to a variety of sites that cover multiple disciplines...everything from Mouse Skills (check out "Bees and Honey"...I played it last night!), to science, to math, and holidays. Our Symbaloo sites are a perfect "something more" to supplement your child's weekly homework. You can access the Symbaloo by clicking HERE. You can access it via the "online resources" page of this blog. You can also access it by going to the Pinebrook Homepage. Once there, click "First Grade" under the "Classrooms" tab. Look to the left under the heading "First Grade". At the bottom of that list, you'll see "First Grade Symbaloo."
