Nov. 12-16

The end of the trimester is this Friday. Do you know what that means? We are 1/3 of the way through first grade! It’s very hard to believe!

Thank you for all your support in class and out! It’s great to know we have such a great team working together!

During this week, we will be collecting coins for our sister school in Kenya, Africa. Each day we will be collecting a different coin. We would love your support as we show the children together we can make a difference.
       Monday-pennies   Tuesday-nickels   Wednesday-dimes   Thursday-quarters   Friday-any amount

**Please note: Due to next week being only being 2 days of school, there will be no assigned homework, except to enjoy a few good books. :)
