First Grade News

Mrs. James’ Class

November 16, 2009

Letter from

Mrs. James

                                                        

Dear Parents, 

          Our trip to the Aquarium on Friday was fun. The sharks and jellyfish were the main attraction for the children!  I would like to thank Mrs. Carter (Zenia’s mom) for coming over and giving me a hand! It was greatly appreciated!

          Please continue to send in muffin mix for our Advent project.  I know times are difficult for many people, but especially for those who have lost their jobs or homes. We must remember that Christ teaches to give out of our lack and not our abundance. (Luke 21:1-4)         

          A letter went home last week about our Thanksgiving celebration on Monday November 23, 2009.  Please consider joining us, it is truly a wonderful way to give thanks with our Cardinal Shehan family in the Pre-K, K and 1st wing.

          Thank you to all the parents for contributing to our HSA. First grade is only 3 families away from winning the pizza party.  If you have not contributed to HSA, please consider joining.  It is an excellent way to get involved with your child’s education beyond the classroom.

          I did not send any books home to be covered because I wanted to give everyone a chance to get the contact paper. Books will start coming home on Wednesday.

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

Mrs. James
