Open House and Picture Day

Tomorrow is picture day! First grade will take pictures first thing in the morning.  Don't forget to send in the picture form or print out the copy if you complete the form online.

Open house is tomorrow night.  Do not miss this chance to learn about our reading program Lead 21 and how you can implement this at home, the importance of checking our classroom blog, along with all of the other details that are taking place in your child's classroom.  There are two sessions.  6:00-6:30 and 6:30-7:00.  I will share the same information at both.  I really hope you can attend one of the sessions!

Cat/Griz Basket

Thank you to those of you who have purchased items for our Cat/Griz baskets.  Please continue to send in items as you are able to.  Cat and/or Griz items may be donated.  We will let you know where we stand and if we need more for a basket.  The Arrowhead Staff truly appreciates your donations as the money raised helps purchase the technology that is implemented into every classroom across your child's school.  Without these funds, we would not be able to purchase educational games for the Ipads and computers, along with other educational memberships to help your child learn and grow.

A few things!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. We are having a great second week together! I  will be sending a note home tomorrow regarding Secret Sack.  Please look for the day your child is scheduled to share Secret Sack.  This activity is ongoing and will begin Monday, September 9.

We use our markers, maker boards and erasers everyday in first grade! Please send in an erasaer for your child to keep at school throughout the year.  You do not need to buy an eraser specific for this.  A small piece of cloth works great! Examples: washcloth, dishtowel, small sock, etc.

Thank you so much for you help!
