A Note from the Music Teachers
Dear First Grade Parents,
A permission slip for our First Grade Program was sent home in Thursday Folders. Please read and send the form back to your child’s teacher so that we can begin assigning parts to the kiddos. Below is the link to the Sign Up Genius for volunteers. We need volunteers to help create and provide scenery and a few easy costumes for the program. If you have problems with the Sign Up Genius, please email Tracy Juarez. Please let us know if you have questions or concerns. It’s going to be fun!

Thanks,
Tracy Juarez and Haleigh Mann
A Note from the Art Teachers
Please have your child practice making a pinch pot with playdoh over the next few weeks. Students will make a pinch pot into a ladybug. We will practice in art class, but the more they do at home, the better. Popscicle sticks are a great tool for them to use too as are the caps of old markers, and other items to imprint in the playdoh. If your child has a gluten allergy, Lakeshore Learning has gluten free playdoh, which is what we use at Mohawk.
Thanks, Ms. Schatz and Mrs. Theo.
