I hope you all had a great week! We enjoyed being back to our usual routine after all of the excitement last week!
Some of the fun we had in first grade over the past few days...
-TWO Mystery Readers- Ms. Oliveri, a counselor and professor at USM, and Mr. Schwartz, an attorney, who are both theater buddies of Mrs. Cole's. We loved hearing about their work and enjoying some fun stories with them :) .
-STEM! This week we explored chemical reactions using water, lemon juice, vinegar, and baking soda. Check out the lab report in our Eagle News!
-Veterans' Day-we read a Scholastic News about this important day and wrote letters to some local veterans. Thank you, veterans, for your service!
-Windham Police Officer Andrews came to read to us during Library as well!
Thank you to everyone who turned in their homework folders, library books, Silver Graphics, etc. on time. It makes the days run smoothly when we have everything organized! :)
A couple of friends have already finished their Turkey in Disguise projects and brought them in! We can't wait to see everyone's creations! They will be posted on the hallway bulletin board for others to admire as well.
Our next Project Day will be on Tuesday the 20th from 2-2:40 PM. Please let me know before November 16th if you will be participating so that I can plan the activity according to how many helpers we will have and purchase materials. :) . Thank you!
Book orders went home today and are also due on the 16th. I do not send book orders in December because they sometimes don't make it back to us before the holidays. Please let me know if your book order contains a gift and I can hold it aside until you're able to pick it up at school. Thanks!
There are a LOT of new items in the Upcoming Events calendar!
Thank you for marking your child's Reading Incentive calendar with his/her name and for jotting down the total books read. :)
I hope you all get to have some fun this weekend! I have a first reading of the new play I'm in and a gathering of extended family to attend. Enjoy your time with your loved ones, too!
