Dear Parents,
November is here! It came upon us fast! There is so much that is happening in November and hopefully this post will help you and I both keep organized. On Wednesday November 11th there will be no school as we will be celebrating Veterans Day. It does fall on a Wednesday so it will be a broken up week.
First and Second grade will be celebrating Thanksgiving together as we prepare to cook and serve our traditional Thanksgiving Feast. Notes have been coming home but also be looking for more as you will be assigned certain items to bring in. If you cannot get the items just let us know. Without out your help the feast does not work. It is a beautiful event and the kids take such pride in their hard work and being together. It has gotten so large that we have now moved the event into the gym to make it more comfortable for everyone to enjoy the time together. We will be cooking Thursday, November 19th from 8:30-10:30. The feast will be the following day starting at 11:30. We ask you arrive by 11:15. Please try and schedule your lunch breaks as we love having all of you here. If you have signed up for clean up please stay after the feast. Thank you so much! Many hands make light work.
Conferences will be held November 23rd from 11:00-7:00. They also will be held November 24th from 9:00-3:00. Call the office and sign up. There will be no school for students those days.
I hope this post is helpful it sure was for me as I typed it. We want to enjoy our time together and treasure our family time so with that said have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break.

Here We Go Again
Hello First Grade Parents,
Here we go again! Welcome to a brand new school year. I am so excited to see what this year brings us. I can tell already the kids are very ready and eager to learn. We will have jammed packed days and your child will be tired. It is totally normal. I want to remind you to make sure your child has a big breakfast in the morning so they are ready to work as soon as they get here. I also want to thank you ahead of time for having their homework journal packed in their bag and having them prepared for each day. It will all become a part of your routine very soon. If you would like to volunteer in our classroom we sure could use you. I am looking for volunteers to read and work with children during Writing to Read. Writing to Read is each day from 1:30-2:30. Also, I am sure Mr. Pearson could use you during PE. That would be a great time for all. Homework has started and it was a success. I was thrilled and so were they. Most weeks they will have homework 3-4 nights a week and it will be a mirror image of something they have learned that day. Remind them to put that folder right back in their bag when finished and it will be ready to pack up for the following day! If you ever need to reach me feel free to drop me an an email here at school or call me. I will return your message as soon as I can. Working together is the key to success. Let's do this!

February A Fast Paced Month
Hello Everyone,
February is the month that seems to come and go so quickly. There is so much going on! I think we all can say we have had enough of the snow storms. It seems as though we have 6 more weeks of winter according to the ground hog.
We are in the stages of collecting information on our chosen animal. I would like all the information in by this Friday. They are pretty excited to get this under way. We have lots of studying to do before we can do the projects.
I will be collecting book orders soon so if you are ordering books please send in the filled out book order along with the money. Thank you so much. This class is full of great readers!
It seems as though the 100th day of school and Valentines day are going to fall on the same day. We will be doing our 100th day Olympics in the morning on February 13th. The kids will need to wear workout clothes and bring in a water bottle. The afternoon we will attend the wedding of Q and U in the gym and come back to a Valentine party. This is one exciting day. They can ALL read their own Valentines. Everyone feels so special because they ALL get a special note from each friend. Be looking for your class list coming home.
You have a week off. If you would like your child to have books for the vacation please send in a note, email or call and I will arrange for that to happen.
Enjoy this month, enjoy your vacation and think sun and spring. It will be come it always does.
Mrs. Nickerson
