The first grade students have a list of reading sentences in the pockets of their agendas.  They can read the sentences to an adult in their home as their homework for tonight.  The first graders are also bringing home some cloze sentences (where they fill in missing letters).  We'll try to have one every day, so keep checking the agenda pockets!

Thanks to everyone who returned their Roots of Empathy permission forms today.  If you haven't returned the permission form, try to do so as soon as possible.  Thanks.

There is a cookie sale tomorrow.  Our class will also visit the book fair tomorrow afternoon.  If you'd like, you can send some money with your child so they can make a small purchase, or you can visit the book fair yourself and shop with your child.  The fair is in the library upstairs and runs from 8:30 am until 7:00 pm. 

Class book orders are due this Friday.

We had our first visit with Baby Gage, our Roots of Empathy baby.  What a cutie! Here's a photo or two of our heartbreaker:
