12/1/2018 0 Comments Dec. 3-7Dear families, It is hard to believe we are already approaching our winter break! There is much excitement for the holidays and for our December activities. This month, First Grade is celebrating the theme of kindness. Each day we highlight an act of kindness and practice for the day. Some examples include simple gestures such as giving smiles, paying our friends a compliment, inviting others to play, and offering a helping hand. Next week, we will extend our generosity to family and town members. We look forward to creating homemade cards and gifts, as well as a baking treats for community workers. It is refreshing to see that the students find these experiences so rewarding. Have a great weekend. Seema Curriculum HighlightsMathematics
