First Grade Parent Letter 10/5/2009
October 5th, 2009
Dear First Grade Parents,
Thank you to everyone who was able to come to our parent evening. We have begun working with fairy tales and introducing the letters through drawings. The children really enjoy seeing the letters come out of the drawings that they are making.
Tomorrow night is a great opportunity to learn about the different committees at the school and the many ways that our school needs volunteer help. The volunteer orientation is from 7-8p.m. on Tuesday, October 6th.
The first grade is going to the pumpkin patch on Friday, October 9th from 11a.m. to approximately 2:30. We will be going to Pheasant Farms and have a great lineup of activities, including a hay ride, pumpkin patch, and a hay mountain. The cost for each child is $4. Siblings are welcome, but they also need to pay the entrance fee. Adults are fee as long as our ratio of adults to children is no more than 5 to 1. Every child will need to be dropped off with a car seat.
Just a reminder that as the rain comes children will need rain pants, jackets, and boots at school. Please make sure that in addition to rain gear, your child also has an extra pair of clothes.
Thanks for reading and have a great week,
Jesse Gammon
