First Grade Homework Sheet

Week of Sept. 19, 2011

        Our First Graders have been working very hard!  Everyone seems to understand our policies and procedures and we are learning how to work together.  There are several important items in this homework pack so please read through everything carefully. 

        I have enclosed the permission slip for our first field trip to Oak Glen on October 11.  We are going to Los Rios Rancho apple orchards and packing house.  This is an excellent field trip; I have taken my class for 15 years in a row!  We are studying plants, trees, etc. in science with emphasis on the life cycle of apple trees.  I hope that many of you can drive for the field trip.  All drivers need to have fingerprints on file in the office, safe environment training, and the new safe driving course completed online.  Please check in the office if you have any questions as to your status.

        The signed permission slip and $7 per person are due no later than Sept. 30.  Drivers and students each have to pay the $7 to go on the trip.  Of course, school and Diocesan rules state that no siblings may accompany classes on field trips.  I need the permission slip and money turned in at the same time, please!

        Our wonderful Room Parents have included an informational letter including upcoming special events, parties, contact phone numbers, and opportunities for volunteering.  I really appreciate Heather and Paula for stepping up to organize class activities and help with communication.  There are many events that require volunteers so I thank you all in advance for helping them make this a great year!
