First Day!

We had a great first day! Students shared something fun about their summer! They are working on a 4-square animal fact sheet.  Today we read about elephants, wrote one fact and drew a picture. We have some great artists in our room! They should be able to tell you one interesting fact!  Can you imagine drinking 40 gallons of water day? How do birds help elephants?  Why do elephants like the mud?

• Please check homework folders each evening. Everyone should have a calendar in the homework folder.  Please keep this inside the folder for the month. 
• There is no homework due this week.  On Friday, we will talk about spelling homework and get an early start on our 5xs each for next week.
• On Thursday, students will be bringing home an "All About Me" poster to work on.  The poster will be due next week.
• A memo went home today about pick-ups at the church down the hill.  Students can be released out the gate and down the hill now.
• In 3rd grade, students carry their lunch money to the cafeteria.  They will need to have a pocket or envelope to keep their money inside.  They leave the room for specials and recess before going to lunch.

First day of school pictures coming soon!
