What a great week in 1st Grade.  We have been talking about Persuasive Writing and we are working on our "Book Drive" posters to convince other grades to join us in our efforts!  

 

We love to see our dads!  They were all so EAGER to have their pictures taken! ( HA!)   I think dads take a "back seat" to moms at times but this should never occur.  Their presence is an important one in shaping and molding the lives of their children!

 

Being an "Air Force" Brat myself...Veteran's Day is extrememly important.  May we never forget the blessings we have in this country.  So proud of my dad and brothers for their service and I know many of you understand that too.  Many important veterans in your lives.  The kids greeted our veterans and families and everyone beamed!  Some of the comments made by the kids to the passers were..."Thank you for your service,"  "Thank you for serving our country and the world," "Welcome and please come back"!  They sounded like a commercial.  We just told them to greet them and say "Welcome".   I think they really understood and were in "awe" of the men and women in uniform...  Great Day!

 

Next week, we will present our posters to 2nd grade and encourage them to join our Book Drive.  We will graph our book efforts and we will enjoy Thanksgiving Lunch with many of our parents. Get those lunch forms in!  Closing in on Thanksgiving!  Get your PTA Book orders in and thank you so much for everyone who has responded!  Encourage good listening and behavior as we head into the holiday season!
