Welcome to First Grade!

Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend!  Because of the shorter week, we will not have Book in a Bag Journal this week...the students will have Spelling homework for this Tuesday night homework.  See their Homework Journal for more clarification.

Thursday, January 23rd our First Grade class will attend Mass in Chapel at 8:00am...all are welcome!

First Grade goes outside for morning recess everyday...please make sure to send your child with a jacket...as it gets colder feel free to send in gloves and hats for them as well.

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...
