· School Fund
Raiser—Please check the paper packet
for a flyer explaining our school fund raiser, Pennies for Pasta, to benefit the Leukemia Society. The children
may bring in their change starting Monday, April 30th. The
collection will continue until May 4th.
· Math—The children are learning to count sets of coins
including quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies.
Please review this at home. The children need to know the name and value
of each coin and be able to count them in mixed sets. Working on memorization
of Math facts should be part of each night’s homework.
· Paper towels
and Kleenex—We are in need of these
once again. Thank you for your generosity.
· Money in
Envelopes—Please remember that all
money turned in for any reason needs to be in a labeled envelope.
· Springtime
Read and Feed—On Friday, May 4th
the first graders will enjoy lunch and then read with big brothers and sisters.
The children will need to bring a lunch and drink that day. No purchases from
the cafeteria. Please also send in a beach towel for your child to use. We will
picnic on the school grounds.
