Dear Parents,

Happy Wednesday!  How is your week going?  Chapel went very well today and the first graders received many compliments! It was so nice to see so many familiar and smiling faces there today! If you couldn’t attend, we talked about being “Easter” people and what that means…..ask your firstie! 

In Social Studies we have been talking about cultures and customs and how different countries have different ways of doing things.  If you think about it, this is also true in different states, different households, even different classrooms!  Share with your firstie and/or family about a time when you experienced a different culture or custom. It helps to make it more real for them! 

Information came home today about new book orders.  On the letter attached, I gave you the online code, in case you would like to order books online.  However, I have never done it, so I am not sure I can help you if you run into issues! :/  You can still send in the order and money with your firstie if prefer.  The due date for this book order is Friday, May 5^th. .

 

The posed spring pictures that went home on Monday looked great!  Remember, you don’t HAVE to purchase them (and if that is the case, please return the entire packet of pictures)!  If you would like to purchase them, fill out the order form and send that back in. Thanks! 

Trinity will be having a blood drive on Tuesday, May 2^nd in the gym from 1pm-6pm.  If you have never donated blood before, please consider doing this!  You may just save a life!  (I have to tell you that I did it for the first time last year, and even though I almost fainted, it felt really good to be able to do that for someone that may need it.  Lisa Morozinski promised me that if I donated again this year, she would provide a mat to put under my chair and a bike helmet….just in case!  Hahahaha.) You can sign up in the office.

We have new “privacy” folders for when we take tests!  Thanks to Addison’s mom who cut and decorated them.  

We also have a new pencil sharpener…..thanks to Owen’s mom for picking it up (the old one died)!  It is AMAZING how quickly the pencils sharpen now!  You should have heard the comments this morning….hahah….. It’s the little things, right?!?

Keep sending in pictures of the bean seeds growing...

Here is another one.....so many "green thumbs" in our class.....!

 

Blessings on the rest of your week!
