Updates December 13-17
Good afternoon!
We have a very exciting week planned! Tomorrow (Tuesday) we have a holiday sing a-long in music with other first grade classes. Then, on Wednesday, we celebrate the Polar Express! All students are invited to come to school in his/her pajamas (but wear appropriate shoes for P.E.)! They are also welcome to bring a pillow and/or small blanket to enjoy the movie. We will be having hot chocolate and cookies just like in the movie. On Thursday is our holiday craft day and our holiday party. We would love to have some extra hands on Thursday if you are able to help out! There is no need to send lunch for your child on Thursday as we will be ordering pizza for lunch. If your child does not like pizza, you can send him/her a bag lunch. Thursday night is the Bartram Springs Holiday Story night. Come join in the fun as it will be a fabulous time!
Friday we will be having our spelling test, so please be sure to help your child study his/her spelling words this week!
Our secret word for the week is vacation! I hope all of you have a blessed and safe holiday season and we will blog again in January 2011!!

What a wild ride!
Hi everyone!
I just returned from Disney's Wide World of Sports where my daughter's cheerleading squad placed 6th in the nation. It was an exhausting, but very exciting, weekend. I hope the kids did well today when I was out, but they are such a great group that I'm sure they were fantastic!
Please remember to sign and return the progress reports you received on Friday (if you haven't already). I am starting to see a downturn in the number of homework packets that are being returned on Fridays. Please make sure that your child is doing his/her homework nightly. It is a reinforcement of the skills that we are covering in class. It is especially important that your child is reading on a nightly basis and that you are asking him/her questions about the reading. Also, please remember to help your child study for the spelling tests on Friday. We practice these words in class, but it is also important for them to practice them at home.
Have a wonderful week! Our secret word is a word that we learned about on Friday: poinsettia.
