Happy New Year to Everyone!  I hope everyone had a great vacation and had lots of fun with your families. I went back east to NJ and saw my family.  It was cold there but now it seems almost as cold here!  No one likes a vacation to end but the children came in this morning with smiling faces and so full of excitement and news to share that I know why I love my job!

TOY DAY-    On Thursday, Jan.10th we will have a Toy Day here in first grade. Each child can bring in a toy or item to share with the class. It should be something that  the children can all play with.  It should be a fun day.

The children have been bringing an assortment of things to “show” the class. We will have show and tell from time to time but I will always tell you. We do not always have time for daily show and tell so please  don’t allow the children to bring in the items on a daily basis.  I have told the children that they can bring in something on the day after their birthday if they would like to share a new gift. Thanks for your help with this.
