Happy Holidays!

The first grade students collected 1,763 diapers! I am totally amazed and grateful. I will be posting a picture on the school website of the students and the diapers! Thank you for being so supportive for those in need.

The students will be busy doing different Christmas craft projects next week.

Monday, December 16th and Tuesday, December 17th. Thanks to those who have offered to help.

We will have a Spelling list next week. It will be a list of Christmas words and they are just for fun! I will not be giving a grade over these words.

There is mass for grades 1-4 on Wednesday, December 18^th at 8:30.

Friday, December 20th is a dress down day. The 5^th grade wax museum is also this day. Students may bring quarters to donate to hear each character in the museum speak about his/her life.

I will not be sending Friday folders next week, or a newsletter. This is my last one for 2019.

I want to wish all of you a very blessed Christmas. I hope it is a joyous holiday filled with love and time spent with family.

Merry Christmas!

Mrs. Wilson

It’s such a fun time of year with 1^st graders! We have lots to accomplish before Christmas. The days are really flying by!

The students enjoyed our author study of Jan Brett this week. Please be sure to ask your child to tell you about her and her awesome books. Her website is great, also. www.janbrett.com

Thank you to those families who have sent in diapers for the Diaper Drive. The last day to send them is next Tuesday, December 10th!

Next week we will be doing a Gingerbread unit. We will read lots of different versions of the classic Gingerbread Man story.

Wednesday, December 11^th there is mass at 8:30 for grades K-4.

The students will dismiss at noon on Friday, December 13th.

Because we are doing the gingerbread unit, I will not be sending the purple Word List book home next week.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Wilson

Next week is a short week, so we will not send Friday folders home, or have a spelling test. I will also not be sending home word list books. There is no school on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, November 27-29.

The book orders are due Monday, November 25^th!

Monday, November 25th we will be having a Friendship Feast for all of 1^st grade. A reminder email was sent to those who signed up to bring something. Anyone who signed up to volunteer will need to be at school from 1:50-2:40. Thank you!

Tuesday, November 26th is a dress down day. There is a special Thanksgiving mass for grades K-4 at 8:30. It will be somewhat crowded, so if you come, please sit toward the back or in the side pews.

The week after Thanksgiving all of the 1^st graders are doing an author study of Jan Brett. It is going to be very exciting for the students because we are going to be splitting them up into groups from different classrooms. Your child will also get to work with ALL of the fabulous 1^st grade teachers. Jan Brett has an amazing website that you might want to check out- it’s www.janbrett.com.

I want to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving. I am truly thankful for each one of my students and their families. Enjoy the nice long holiday weekend!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Wilson
