Important Notes!
No Reading Chart this Week: This week, there will be no reading chart and no book bags. Instead, we would like the students to practice their Christmas Around the World plays each night. Thank you for helping your child practice their parts!! Clothing for Music Program: This Friday will be the Elementary music program. It is good if children can wear nice clothes for the program. If you would like, your child can bring their nice clothes in a bag to school and we will give them time to change into the nice clothes before the concert. Sometimes it is hard to play at recess and PE with nice clothes, so many children prefer to bring their clothes and change later. ! Treats for Nursing Home Staff: Next Tuesday, we look forward to being Gods messengers of love to the people at Kisui-en nursing home. We hope to give each member of the staff a small bag of Christmas goodies. Please look for the paper in your childs blue folder about helping to provide food for these bags. Some 2nd grade moms will put the bags together, but it is 1st grades job to provide the snacks. Thank you so much for your contributions!! First Grade Christmas party: Next week on Monday, we will have our Christmas party after our Christmas Around the World readers theater. We have decided to have ice cream sundaes for the snack at our party. It would be great if each rst grader could bring something for our ice cream sundaes. We will contact you later this week about what to bring.!
