Thank you to everybody who made the Thanksgiving Feast such a success!!! I hope everybody had a wonderful, restful holiday with family and friends. We will be starting a new spelling list this week. This is the last week to turn in the $8 and permission slip for the field trip next February to see the live theatre show at the Fox Theatre. I cannot take your child off school property without the permission slip and money. We have to pre-pay the tickets in order to ensure we have seats for the performance.

Now that it is getting cold, please make sure you have labeled all your child's outerwear. The school has 2 different style sweatshirts available for purchase in the front office. These sweatshirts can be worn all day in class.

We are also going to have an all first grade Holiday Performance on Tuesday, Dec. 15th @ 2 PM. It will be held in the school cafeteria. We will be collecting donated holiday cookies to serve after the performance. More details to follow!

Thanks, Mrs. C

Parents: The first grade classes are in charge of bringing HOT corn to the Thanksgiving Feast on Tuesday, Nov. 24 for the entire student body and staff. More information will be sent home in this Monday's Class Newsletter. We will need dishes of ready-to-eat hot corn delivered either with your student before school on the 24th, or brought to school by 9:30 AM. Please label any and all containers with your full name, your child's name and grade level IF you want to have the dishes set aside and returned to you.

Tuesday, Nov. 24 is our last day of class before the Thanksgiving break. Regular class will resume on Monday, Nov. 30th. Please let me know ahead of time if you anticipate that your child will miss any days of school during our busy holiday season! We have a LOT of things going on, including testing and it really helps us plan accordingly if we know about absences.

Thank you to all the parents who have sent in Lysol anti-bacterial wipes! We're doing our best to keep the class clean and germ free :)

Lastly, my annual "First Grade Student Recipe book" will be sent home a few days before Thanksgiving. As always, it is a great way to share holiday traditions with your family! It is always amazing to listen to the kids tell me all the great details about what they remember about family traditions such as Thanksgiving!! Happy Holidays to the entire class!! Mrs. C
