Dear Parents

I cannot believe that we are already entering the month of December! Time is flying and I hope your children have been having fun. :)

For December we will be studying Italy. We will compare Christmas traditions of the United States with Italian Christmas traditions. I believe some of you have Italian backgrounds and I welcome any insight that you are able to share.

Needed items:

* glue sticks

* liquid glue

* dry erase markers

* yellow folders

Any items you can donate would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Parents

The First Grade teachers are not sending home behavior logs these two days. Also, the children do not have homework. However, any extra reading that you do is wonderful and greatly appreciated.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving!!
