Hello wonderful first grade families!
We are quickly approaching Thanksgiving break, and right behind it will be our Holiday break! A lot of exciting things are happening in the mean time that we want to let you know about.
The Principal's Edition newsletter for this month has just been published. It has a lot of great information for you to look over!
On November 24, Tuesday, will be our gratitude celebration, also known as pie day! A flyer with additional information is posted below and will be under the upcoming events tab.
Coming up in December will be our Highline Holiday Adopt a Family! A flyer with more information about the event is also posted below. Both flyers will be sent home in Thursday folders if you would like a hard copy for the fridge :)
After Thanksgiving break, students will have their second round of iReady testing, on December 10th and 11th. While we won't be sending any work home to be completed over the break, please make sure your students are reading as much as possible and even working on their math facts, so that they're sharp and ready to take their math and literacy assessments!
Last, but certainly not least, our wonderful Mrs. Gaister is officially on maternity leave with the arrival of a happy and healthy baby girl, on Wednesday (11/18). We are so excited about the latest addition to her family! We are also excited to welcome Taylor Daum into our classroom to serve as a TA in Mrs. Gaister's absence. Taylor is coming to us with experience in another first grade classroom, in Austin, Texas, and we're really looking forward to working with her.
As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns. Thank you for all of your support!
Best,
FIrst Grade Team
