What a pleasure it's been getting to know the new crop of first graders this week! There's a lot of talent in this classroom; I'm going to be able to skip ahead in lots of areas because the students have such a great academic base. Hats off to parents, students, and Mrs. C from last year; you've done an admirable job preparing for all the learning that Grade One affords!
Newsletters went home in the agenda pockets today, along with a book authored by the bright lights of Room Four. The students' homework is to read the book they've created to a willing audience. (Get your "oooh" and "aaahhh" voices ready, parents!)
The students also have a brainbuster challenge for the parents; look for details in the agenda's September 5 message.
Thanks so much to Aurora's mom for volunteering to be a key communicator for our class. Now we just need a school council rep ....
Enjoy the weekend, everyone!
