First Grade Update, 05-10-12

Hello All!

Can you believe Field Day is just around the corner? It will be a fun day for everyone, and we are so excited! Here are just a few reminders about that day. First, be sure your child has sunscreen on, since we will be outside for a few hours. Secondly, make sure your child comes wearing their FWA field trip shirt and a swimsuit. Girls should wear one-piece suits underneath their shirt and some shorts. Boys should wear swim trunks and their field trip shirt. Thirdly, remember to send your child to school that day with a towel. It would also be a good idea to put your child's name on that towel, just in case it gets misplaced.

We also have our science fair coming up next week on Thursday.To those of you who volunteered for it, thank you so much! We could not do it without you.

Next week will be our last week of reading homework. The children will be returning their books to school the following week.

Blessings,
You First Grade Team

Hello wonderful parents!
We hope you all have had a good weekend. First, we want to thank those of you who have volunteered for the science fair. If we have enough volunteers, May 17th and May 24th will be so much fun for our precious students! However, in order to have the science fair, we need four volunteers for each of those days. Miss Klinke already has four volunteers for the 17th, but she needs volunteers for the 24th, and Mrs. George only has two volunteers. So, if you are free either of those days, please do sign up :) If you have any questions, please let us know. Have a blessed week!
Serving Him together,
Katie Klinke

Weekly update, 03-09-12

Hello everyone,
We hope this message finds everyone well. We want to remind you of a few things that will take place after spring break. We will be starting SAT testing the week after spring break. So, be sure that your precious child gets a good night's rest each night that week, as well as the following week, and eats a healthy breakfast each morning.

There is required information on each SAT test booklet that must be filled in for each student. Would a few of you wonderful parents be sooooo kind as to volunteer to fill that information out for us here at the school on Monday? It would be GREATLY appreciated!

We hope all of you and your children have a blessed spring break, and we will see your sweet children on the 19th!
Blessings,
Katie Klinke & Linda George

Weekly update 03-02-12

Hello Everybody!

Can you believe Spring Break is just around the corner? Time certainly does fly!

We do want to give you some friendly reminders; first, your sweet children will be going on a field trip to the bowling alley for PE on Wednesday the 7th. If you want your child to go on the field trip and you have not yet paid the $6 for it, please send the money with your child soon!

As for homework, parent signatures are required on ALL homework sheets, including math sheets. Also for the reading homework, your children already know to have you do this, but please write down the exact page numbers he or she reads whenever we have reading homework. We are so excited that your children are so eager to read, but if they happen to read a large nuumber of pages in one night ( such as 20 or more) please include a brief not that you actually sat with them and listened to them read with you. The purpose of these reading assignments if for the students to develop reading accuracey and fluency, and your sitting with them and watching them read will hopefully help achieve this goal.

Blessings,
Linda George & Katie Klinke
