What a party!!!!

Dear Parents,

            Last week was a great success!  Thank you so much to all of you that came out to help set up for the Halloween carnival.  You worked hard and the gym looked fantastic.  Also a special thanks to Deysi Aleman, Angel Chavez, Charita Duenas, Verna Mendoza, Patricia Molina, Adriana Soto, and Leslie Souttaphohn who helped make monster cupcakes and ghostly milkshakes.  The 1st graders had a blast.  It was a great party! 

This week I will be sending home an activity the students know as word building.  I will be sending home a note that explains it.  It will be folded and stapled together because it is only for your eyes.  It has all the answers for the words on it.  Please follow the directions on how to build words with your child.  This is a wonderful activity that will help your child with phonics, reading, and writing. Let me know if you have any questions. 

 Also, in regards to the spelling test, the spelling paper that I send home is a resource for you to have the 1st graders practice on. 

 I will be working to put all the pictures from Halloween on the blog to enjoy. 

 Sincerely,

Ms. Andrade
