Hi Parents,
We had a great week this past week in first grade. We're learning more about routines and procedures every day. There are a few upcoming dates that I wanted to share with you.
*September 24/25 (Saturday & Sunday)
This weekend is the National Book Festival on the mall. It's a 2 day event (10a-5p on Saturday and 1-5p on Sunday). This year, they have a family storytelling stage where authors and actors will be reading their stories all day. An author that we've already read so far this year, Tomie dePaola, will be at the book festival. We read his book Strega Nona and we loved it! You can find more details about the book festival at http://www.loc.gov/bookfest/. I'll be there both days!
*September 29 (Thursday)
This is the date of our first APTT conference. This is a new conference format that we're using this year; it will be extremely informative and it will really help move all students forward towards goals that make sense for them.
Also, now that we're getting closer to fall we could use tissues and hand sanitizer in our classroom. I appreciate the donations we've already received, but tissues go really quickly during cold/allergy season!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
