Peek at the Week
Mrs. Bennett's First Grade News, Week 11 (Nov.6-10)
A Note From the Teacher
Reminders
- I am sending home a bookmark that includes all of the reading strategies we have learned. Make sure your child is practicing when reading.
- Please send book bags back only once a week. It is important to read the books more than once to practice fluency. Thank you for reading at home! It is making a HUGE difference!
With 1 week to go, PCE is still ~$2K shy of our goal to help Hitchcock Head Start recover from Hurricane Harvey. Click on https://squareup.com/store/pebble-creek-pto to make your tax-free donation today!

- Decades Enrichment Day will be Monday, November 20, 2017. Each grade level will study a different decade. We will be learning about the 1980's so start thinking about an 80's outfit for that day. We will also need parents from each class to help decorate the entrance to our hallway to represent the 80's decade.
