Monday Updates!

Happy Monday Fantastic First Grade Families!

I hope everyone had a great three day weekend and a super fun Halloween! We have some important updates, so check out what's going on in Room 21:

Homework Check Off - We are going to be switching up the way we record reading minutes/homework. In place of the light bulb pages, you will find this page in your child's binder this afternoon. Starting TODAY, we will be using it to keep track of reading minutes, XtraMath, and Spelling practice. The only box I expect to see filled in EVERY night is Reading. Please continue reading for at least 10 minutes every night, then record the number of minutes in the box. You only need to mark an X for XtraMath and Spelling on the days those two activities are completed. Make sure you initial on the line each night! Please let me know if you have any questions!


Helping Hands - Our annual Helping Hands Campaign begins today and runs through December 11th. Each week you will receive a note with the specific items we are collecting. This week we are collecting FOOD items. Please send in canned or boxed food items such as peanut butter, tuna, canned chicken, pasta, spaghetti sauce, macaroni and cheese, hot and cold cereals, canned fruits and veggies, etc. Please do not send anything breakable - no glass containers! Also, don't forget to check expiration dates, rust, or damaged cans/boxes. Our families deserve the same things we'd like to eat! Our Helping Hands room coordinator, Mrs. Merlo, gave us a challenge this morning - bring in 100 food items by Friday and we will get a treat! Let's see if 22 first graders can reach our goal!

Have a great night!
