Dear Parents,
It was brought to our attention after school today that a child in our classroom has been found to have head lice. We will do a thorough check on each of our students tomorrow during class. However, we ask that you will perform your own check on your students tonight. If you find anything,  please contact us by email or calling the school and keep them home until it is COMPLETELY gone. We also ask that you take a minute and educate your child regarding how lice is spread from one child to another. We will also address this in class tomorrow. 
Thank you so much!
Ms. Hill & Ms. Nelson

Dear Parents/Guardians, 
We just wanted to give you a heads up.  We will be starting the first session of our First Grade Club starting in October.  This will be an after school science/art club.  We will be posting the club contract on our blogs this upcoming Tuesday, September 20th.  

Club contracts need to be turned in to the Q1 office as soon as possible, the last day we will accept them is September 30th.  It will be a first come first served basis. 

The first 20 contracts turned in will be contacted.  If your child is accepted there will be a $5 fee associated along with rules to follow. 

Club will be every Thursday from 3:00-3:55pm.  Pick up is at 4:00pm sharp.  Students will participate in a variety of science experiments and art projects.  

There will be another session of club after we come back from winter break around January/February.  So, if you miss this first session there will be one more opportunity.

Just a reminder:  Animal Reports are due with homework tomorrow!  All information, including the printable form, is posted here below: 

Below is a list of the animals your student has selected to complete their animal report on.  If your child was absent, we assigned them an animal.  Please assist your child in researching their animal. We encourage you to help them find the information in various sources (books, encyclopedias, internet, etc.) rather than stating what they know or believe to be true.  
Click here to learn about your animal on the Hogle Zoo website: 
Meet the Hogle Zoo Animals. 
Here is another fun animal website: Zooborns 

Encourage your child to use their best handwriting. The reports will be shared with the class on Friday, September 16th.  Your child may find it beneficial to practice reading their report to you prior to reading it for our class.  Included in their blue homework folder on Friday was the animal report form and a scratch writing paper with the student selected animal.
