Eagle Period
Next week in Eagle Period, we will be force and motion. My groups will be doing a "Think Tank" on the books ROLLER COASTER by Marla Frazee and NEWTON AND ME by Lynne Mayer. We are trying to help our first graders become more knowlegable about forces and energy. They seem to really enjoy this unit in science.
Fall Festival, October 29th, 4-7 pm
Thank you for getting out there and selling the raffle tickets. This is the last weekend to sell tickets. All tickets and money need to be back at school on Friday, October 28th. This is the only fundraiser that we are allowed to have for the whole year. All proceeds go directly to the first grade activity accounts. If you sell all 50 tickets and would like some more, please send me a note. I will send them home with your child. I am super excited about Fall Festival. It is such a great time watching the commuinty come together. I LOVE watching the kids have so much fun!!
Reading and class folders
Please be sure that your child is reading each night for at least 20 minutes and that you are recording their reading. The more that your child reads, the the more he/she will know. Your child's folder is also supposed to be cleaned out DAILY. We are trying to teach responsibility to our students, so please help them learn the importance of taking care of their folders. Thanks!!
