1st Grade Newsletter Week 9

Teachers Notes:

Good Morning,

I hope that you all were able to have a wonderful weekend and able to enjoy the beautiful weather! This week on Friday we will be having our family picnic day at noon but would love to have you join us for mass at 11:15! For Tiger Day the 1st Grade class helps host by bringing in Estimation station items and having a few parents help monitor the games and such. This year we will have a few middle schoolers here to help with the monitoring of the game but if you are able to help please send me an email and I can get more information to you. If you need ideas for Estimation station items please send me an email and I will get back to you as soon as possible. The estimation station item is not required of each student so please do not feel obligated or pressured to send in an item. Thank you for all that you do! I would not be able to do this without you! If you have not already please remember to sign up for Parent teacher conferences. I will send the link out to all parents in an email later today!
