Classroom News
September 5, 2008
Dear Parents and Students,

I am excited to begin the month of September. We will continue to learn many new things. We will also do many fun Fall activities. Please check your Classroom News each week for an update.
Our school fundraiser is due next Monday, the 8th. Please remember to return your child’s envelope that day. We will also be having school pictures next Friday, the 12th. You should receive a flyer with more information next week. I would also like to complete our Weekly Reader order by the end of next week. Thank for donating $5 for your child. If you haven’t yet, and are able to, please send the $5 by next Friday. Thanks! J Also, each child received a “Person Like me at back to school night, I received a few back and just wanted to remind everyone to send those to school when you are finished making it.
Thank you for your help with homework papers. Please contact me with any questions concerning homework. Remember to write down your child’s reading minutes each day. Our school is doing a school-wide reading incentive called “Road to Success”. Information about this was sent home earlier in the week. I encourage each child to read at least twenty minutes nightly to help our class and our school reach our goal for reading minutes.
Thank you for your support! We have an awesome first grade class this year! I look forward to many great months of learning and having fun this year. Please call with any questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Mrs. Shaffer
