First Grade Homework Sheet

Week of Dec. 12, 2011

        Thank you very much for all of the delicious baked goods for our Bake Sale yesterday.  We had the nicest selection of items and most were homemade!  Thank you to Heather and Paula who handled the set-up/clean-up and organizing volunteers and donations.  It was a beautiful day and many parishioners enjoyed our hospitality!  I am not sure what our profit is because any leftovers will be sold at school Monday at recess.  If you did not donate a baked item or $5, please send in your $5 which is our standard amount per student for class bake sales.  I will let you know our final amount and what I will purchase for the classroom using these funds.

        All this week you may send in your child’s Advent Mission box.  We will see that these are given to Sister Camillus who forwards proceeds to the Holy Childhood Association.  Thank you for supporting a worthy cause and teaching your children to be Ambassadors of Hope to those who are suffering.

        Wednesday is Free Dress for $1 and a Skating Party.

        Thursday will be our last day before Christmas Vacation and we always celebrate with a school Mass.  You are welcome to join us at Mass at 8:15 that day.  Of course, Mass Day means FULL UNIFORM for all students!

        On Thursday we will also celebrate with a Christmas Party.  Heather is providing pizza for lunch for our class as her treat!   We will have a class party after lunch and some parents are providing craft projects and we will also have treats in the classroom.  If you would like to help, please give Heather or Paula a call.  Thank you in advance for making it a fun day for our First Graders!  There will be no homework or spelling list this week!!!!!

        I would like to wish all of my dear First Grade families a very blessed and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

First Grade Homework Sheet

Week of Dec. 5, 2011

        This is a very busy week for First Grade and the whole school!  Our Bake Sale is this coming Sunday, Dec. 11 after all of the Masses.  Heather sent home a sign-up sheet last week and I have only seen 3 returned.  This event requires all of the First Grade parents/families to donate baked goods and/or a $5 donation plus volunteers to work a shift at the sale.  Please respond as soon as possible, and if you didn’t see the sign-up sheet, please call Heather Guereca for details and to help.  The proceeds from this Bake Sale go toward purchasing educational items for our class.

        This week is also Santa’s Workshop for the whole school.  This event is an opportunity for your child to purchase Christmas gifts for his/her family members.  Volunteers help the students to choose and purchase and wrap gifts for their family.  Of course participation is optional, but if you would like your child to buy gifts, please send money in a marked envelope for your child on Tues.-Thurs. this week.  I know the students enjoy shopping and buying gifts on their own for their family so this is a very nice activity for them.

        This Thursday is a Holy Day of Obligation in our Church celebrating the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.  The whole school attends Mass at 8:15, and I would like to invite our First Grade families to attend Mass with us.  Of course, a Mass day means FULL UNIFORM for all students (no shorts!!!!).

        Our Spelling Test will be on Thursday this week because there is no school on Friday.  All of the teachers will be participating in curriculum mapping which is an ongoing assignment for us.

        Please continue to check your school calendar and Helpful Reminders for events, free dress days, and scheduling changes!
