presidents_dayThis year we will be learning about many of our great American Heroes.  We would like to invite those interested to come dressed as one of the characters and share their story with our students. Presenters will visit each 1st grade class for 7-10 minutes.  

We hope to help our students create a memorable connection to history and understand the impact these instrumental people had upon our country.

Mission K9 Rescue Service Project

mission-k9-rescueLast Friday we attended a special Veteran’s Day Assembly with the Crismer’s and their war dog Mazzie from Mission K-9 Rescue. We learned about the sacrifices many dogs are making to protect the lives of our soldiers.  Unfortunately, these dogs are left behind after their work is done, and many have been abandoned in the Middle East. Mission K-9 Rescue is striving to Rescue, Reunite, Re-Home, Rehabilitate and Repair any retired working dog that has served mankind in some capacity.

This year for one of our service learning projects we will be collecting coins to donate to Mission K-9 Rescue. coin

As a First Grade we have been learning that everyone can serve and help others through stories such as “The Lion and the Mouse”. Though our children may be young, they too can make an important difference and our small contributions of a coin here and a few coins there will truly add up to something great.

We are also learning about financial literacy principles; for example, we are learning about the principle of saving and we are learning that, to earn money, one must work.  We are encouraging our students to do extra jobs at home for family or friends to earn coins to add to our Mission K-9 Rescue fund.

Wanted: A Small Classroom Christmas Tree

TreeI was going to purchase a small table-top Christmas tree for our classroom, but then it occurred to me that there may be some parents who have an extra that they might be trying to get rid of.  If anyone has an extra Christmas tree that they would like to donate to our classroom, we would love to have it!  I would prefer a smallish table-top Christmas tree, since space in our classroom is limited.

Thank you very much!

Hi, Parents!

We are doing a S.T.E.M.  (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) project in December for which we need many, many cardboard tubes, such as paper towel rolls and wrapping paper rolls. Rather than throwing out used cardboard rolls during your Thanksgiving festivities, please consider dropping them into your child’s backpack. Thank you!  Please send any donations in to class with your child by Friday, December 10th.  Thank you very much!
