Animal Reports

The kids have been working hard on gathering information for their animal reports that they will be sharing with the class next week. I am excited to see what they have learned.

A note will be coming home mid next week sometime, but we will be having our annual first grade holiday celebration on the Friday before we leave for the break. Along with that celebration your child is invited to wear their pajamas to school (I am). It will be a lot of fun!

On a side note, our first grade team has been awarded a grant to purchase four ipads (one for each teacher). We are quite excited. Your child will have an opportunity to use them after the break, since I will be spending a part of the break looking for appropriate "free" apps, since the grant only covered the ipads themselves. Even with the free apps, the addition of this bit of technology will be a big help. Thanks to the Iron County School District Foundation and Mr. Moyle for making it possible.

Aren't we lucky?
