Thanksgiving Feast...

On Tuesday, November 25th all four first grade classes will be having a Thanksgiving Feast beginning at 11:00 am. in the small gymnasium.  Tomorrow you will receive a letter and a lunch order form for your child.  My sincere apologies for the late notice to our class.  I photocopied these notices for all four first grade classes, but neglected to send ours home.  Oh my!!  Until today, I had thought I sent this information home to you via your child's backpack folder! Now it makes sense to me why I haven't received any lunch menus back from you:)

Lauren Schreiber and Rose Catalfamo, our two room moms will be taking care of the necessary shopping that we will need for all the food items. We will be feasting on turkey sandwiches, bagels, tortilla chips, fruit and a cookie.  As described in the letter, the kids will be dressing up in a few holiday related costumes that we are making in class.  Additionally, our incredible music teacher, Mrs. Judy Russo is teaching the first graders a few songs to sing at this event.  

If it all possible, please send in your child's lunch order form and the $4.00 cash payment by Friday.  This way Rose and Lauren will have a chance to get what we need over the weekend.  If you can't send in the order form by Friday, please send it by Monday. 

Charlotte's Web...

This Friday, November 21st our class will be watching the children's movie Charlotte's Web as a culmination to reading the book as a read aloud each day.  Charlotte's Web is my favorite children's book and each year I really look forward to sharing it with the children.  So many wonderful themes and messages about friendship.  In all likelihood, we won't be able to finish watching it Friday, so we will continue watching it on Monday as well. The children are very excited about watching this movie together.  I will be providing some snacks to enjoy during the movie. 

A few notes:

Thank you so much for all your effort put forth on the Thanksgiving Turkey Disguise project.  The turkeys came out FABULOUS!! So incredibly creative.  

Important dates to remember... there will be no school on Wednesday, 11/26 - Friday, 11/28 due to the Thanksgiving holiday.  Classes will resume on Monday, 12/1.
