It's a new decade. Very exciting!
Chinese New Year is on February 14th this year. It will be the
Year of the Tiger.
If you were born in 2003 (depending on the exact date), you were born in the
Year of the Sheep.
I am a Monkey, but I won't mention the date. Ha!
As we begin the second half of First Grade, the children will be expected to
show more independence in their classwork. Please reinforce this at home by
having them read the directions themselves before they complete their
homework.
Continue to read for enjoyment daily. Reading will help your child in all
aspects of their school work.
