Happy Last Week of First Grade!

This week is our last story and theme.  It is a FULL week.  Our story is Winners Never Quit and our theme is Sports. 

Here is our plan for the week:
Monday - please bring in a picture of your child playing a sport or a picture of your child's favorite sport
Tuesday - bring in a ball (labeled) to play with outside

We will be celebrating all of our summer birthdays on Thursday with an ice cream sundae party in the afternoon.

We use REMIND...it is a phone app that makes communication with you quick and easy.  I can send  announcements, reminders and pictures throughout the year as well which is always fun for you to see all the super things your child will be doing this year.  Please sign up as soon as you can.  Here is how you can sign up...
