Adopt-Many-Families Fundraisers:
Thank you for your generosity in helping to fund our “Adopt
Many Families" this Christmas Season. As you know, we
have 84 children to purchase for this year. With the money
raised with the See's Candy fundraiser and Free Dress
Days, we have earned enough to spend about $25 per child
on a toy or something fun for under the Christmas tree.
Because the children we are purchasing for also need
necessity items, it would be wonderful, if while you were out
Christmas shopping for your family, you could pick up items
such as jackets, socks, underwear, toiletries, etc. that we
can also put under the tree for our families.
Our list includes:
Boys Girls
5…3 yr 4…3 yr
3…4 yr 2…4 yr
2…5 yr 1…5 yr
4…6 yr 1…6 yr
1…7 yr 4…8 yr

Please drop off any items by December 12th
and we will
wrap your gift along with the toys we are purchasing for
families. Thank you again for your generosity. Merry
Christmas!

1st Grade News!
First grade is progressing and settling into the rigors of
1st grade academics. AR testing has been initiated in our
classroom. All students are encouraged to read and
practice taking their tests online. One of our students has
read over 5,000 words this trimester! The 1st grade students
are beginning to understand that we read for a purpose.
The class just received our books back from the publishers
that were completed before Thanksgiving. Each student
wrote a page with an illustration about “Christmas is......”.
Math appears to be the ‘fun subject’ and the students like to
have math fact challenges with the teacher. They have
started using the analog clock telling time on the hour and
counting pennies and dimes. In religion, we completed our
advent chapter and will discuss a saint named St. Nicholas.
The legend of the candy cane was introduced at art last
week and this week they will learn about Kwanzaa and
Hanukah. The Jelly Belly Factory field trip date has been set
and is on the school calendar for next April 2017. The
excitement of the Christmas pageant is building in first grade
as they are practicing their songs for December 15th.
I would
like to take this time to thank the 1st grade room parents and
other volunteer parents for the time you give to our class.
Also, I want to say a special thank you for the wonderful
Thanksgiving feast you provided for the class.
Congratulations to Andrew Arroyo, Landon Davis, Ethan Go,
Hunter Lile, Adriana Martinez, and Kelly Rodriguez for 100%
on all their spelling tests! I am looking forward to continued
growth in social skills and academics in this wonderful group
of students. I pray for 1st grade that God continues to bless
them and their families. – Ms. Fox
