A Note From Mrs. Waters
We will be going on a field trip to the Al Khor Park for an exciting opportunity to observe and learn more about animals on Monday, February 6. Your child should bring a water bottle, a snack, and a lunch (we will not buy food). They should come to school wearing sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable shoes.
Thank you for having your child begin on the first grade Valentine’s Day Project. It helps students work on their writing and write kind notes to one another. They are welcome to decorate the notes for their friends. They can also include a small treat if they wish. The notes are due on Monday, February 13th, which is the day we will have our Valentine’s party. I hope your child is enjoying this fun activity. It will continue to take the place of most homework next week.

Students will be Coding for Comprehension as they read nonfiction book using post-it notes to show:
- I knew this.
- I learned this.
- Wow, this is interesting!
