Dear 1C Families,
This week, the first graders made leafy hedgehogs, wrote a friendly letter to a miitary soldier stationed in Kuwait, practiced short u word families, made Holy Family puppets, and learned how to save our Earth's resources. We also finished Unit 1 in our Reading series and the students will get a new Anthology book for Unit 2. However, next week we will be exploring a trade book, "From Seed to Pumpkin". Students will learn the life cycle of a pumpkin, sequencing, and make pumpkin people. I will be reviewing all the sight words, spelling words and short vowel sounds that we have learned since the first day of school with each student individually. Look for this to come home in next week's Friday folder.
Parent/Teacher Conferences are almost here! Remember to sign up if you would like to come in and discuss any questions or concerns you may have about your child or the school year so far. The time slots are only 10-15 minutes long and it goes by quick! Please be ready with any talking points you want to address. SUG link here
If your child gets pizza for lunch on Fridays, please be sure to pack extra food for snack and for sides at lunch. Many students only have pizza for lunch and they are still hungry after the slice. Some fruit, dessert or chips might help fill their bellies!
I hope to see most of you at the Food Truck Festival tonight!
Have a great weekend!
Love,
Mrs. Brunner & Mrs. Aitken

Dear Parents,
The Diocese of Wilmington has requested that we assemble Blizzard Packets for the students as we approach the winter months. Dr. Lou DiAngelo, our superintendent, feels it is very important for students to complete school assignments if or when we experience snow days. To eliminate calendar changes and make up days, each student will be required to complete five days of assignments for each subject area.
Blizzard Packets are designed so that each child will complete one day of assignments when a snow day interrupts our schedule. Students will be held accountable for these packets and assignments will be collected and graded. Blizzard Packet assignments are due back to school one week after the snow day. For example, if school is closed due to snow on a Wednesday, the Day 1 assignments will be due back to school the following Wednesday. If school is cancelled again on Thursday, Day 2 assignments will be due back to school the following Thursday and so on.
This year, in an effort to reduce printing costs, the Blizzard Packets will be available electronically on the class webpage. It is recommended that you print out the assignments in advance of inclement weather. If you are unable to print the Blizzard Packet on your own please let me know.
Thank you as always for your support.
Andrea Rossi, Kristin Winchell, & Emily Brunner

1. Please remember to check the green folder and Homework Organizer daily. Review, check, correct, and initial your child's homework each evening.
2. Please check Friday Folders each week and sign and return any stamped tests in the same folder on Monday.
3. Please send a note if there will be a change in the established dismissal schedule. You can also call the school office. Do not rely on emails as I may not have a chance to check this throughout the day.
4. Please label all of the children's items with their full names and 1C including clothing, lunch boxes, water bottles, etc.
