Monday Morning Notes...

Greetings!

There will be NO MANN POWER this week. It will resume with session II the week of January 7th. We will have a Mustang Motto day Thursday, December 20th! Children are encouraged to wear their Mann-wear OR Cairns Candy Corn t-shirts OR our school colors of navy blue and orange! We will get to go shopping in the Mustang Motto store and applaud all of our good behavior!

Friday December 21 will be pajama day in art! The children earned this exciting reward for good choices! Hooray!

We will have our class winter party on Thursday this week. We plan to have it from 10-11am. Thank you so much to the room parents for organizing this special event for us!

There will be math facts assessed on Thursday and there will be a spelling test on Friday. Math HomeLinks will NOT go home this week as we are encouraging children to try out XtraMath to practice our math facts and TenMarks as means of practicing a variety of math skills and concepts. I also encourage my first graders to read 15-20 minutes a night. This can also be done on RAZ Kids.com.  These are all a plethora of options for you to keep the learning going at home and practice that routine of homework with your first grader. If you need help choosing what to focus on with your first grader as I know schedules are busy after school until bed time, please be in touch and we can plan together how to best practice homework.

Thank you SO much for ALL you do. Thank you SO much for trusting me with that is most important to you.
