Another Exciting Week of Learning!

Whew! What an exciting week full of great learning opportunities. We had SO much fun at the pumpkin patch getting an opportunity to see what we've been learning about in science first hand.

Next week we will be celebrating fall with a celebration on Thursday. Your scholar can come to school in costume as we celebrate. Please make sure your scholar's costume is appropriate for school- no masks or fake blood please. I'm looking forward to celebrating as a team :)

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

Picking the perfect pumpkins

100%!!

A HUGE shout out to all of our amazing 1st grade families for helping our team reach our goal of having 100% family participation during parent teacher conferences! It was so great to talk with each one of you about your scholar's work thus far in 1st grade and to work together to plan how we can continue to help your scholar grow and achieve. THANK YOU!!!!!

This Friday we are going to the pumpkin patch! Make sure your child's permission slip and $6 are turned in by Monday, October 21. On Friday, make sure your child has a comfy pair of walking shoes on and a jacket if the weather looks chilly.

Spirit Week was so much fun! It was exciting to see our scholars excited about reading and eagerly sharing their enthusiasm with those around them.
