Hello First Grade Families,
We had a great week! We are getting used to our new schedule and routines. This class is really enjoying Science with Mrs. Bullinger.
Next week, we will be celebrating Halloween a 'little bit' each day. A colorful flyer went home last Thursday, explaining the activities for each day. If you have any questions about this please let me know. *You may also have received this information in our school newsletter. There are lots of fun surprises planned for the week.
Tomorrow is 'crazy sock' day :)
