October News!

Hello families! October is a very fun month at school! Our class is currently doing fun Halloween/Autumn activities in the classroom. Today began the first day of our new reading groups. I am very proud of the progress your children are making in reading! In first grade, our goal is to be reading on (at least) a level 12 by December. Seven students have already reached or surpassed this goal! Seven more students are on track to reach the goal by December! Way to go, readers!!

This week is also exciting because the BOOK FAIR is here! Send money with your child if you'd like them to purchase books or items from the fair.

Friday, October 21, will be "Arnold Service Day" at school. Each class will be participating in a project around the school campus to beautify and clean our school. Our class will be planting flowers along the classroom exterior wall and then extensively cleaning our classroom! Send your children to school in clothes that you don't mind getting a little dirty. :)

Fall Break will be October 24 - 29. Cleveland City Schools will be CLOSED! Have a RESTFUL and BLESSED fall break!
