Wow- our first week of school is finished! The students are figuring out our routines and finding all the different classrooms for their special activities. They have been very enthusiastic about all our activities. Thanks so much for your support and enthusiasm for school. I am having a great time with this class and look forward to getting to know them (and you) even better.
In the homework pouch you will find a Me Bag and instructions for what to do with it. Please make sure your child brings the Me Bag back to school on Monday morning. You will also find a ‘Grade One’ pencil present from Ms Lyn and myself – in recognition of the children doing a great job during their first week of being First Graders!

| Mr Hoss, our principal reads a clue to us. |
On Friday afternoon we had a huge surprise. At the end of the Gingerbread Man book there was a envelope that said "READ ME." In it was a clue of where the Gingerbread Man had run away to. We chased that naughty guy all over the place: to the bathrooms, computer room, the library, counselor's office, nurses' office, and principal's office. At each place, we found another clue from the Gingerbread Man. We wanted to "Run, run as fast as we could..." but we remembered the rules and walked quietly in the hallways. Some children were sure they saw his footprints on the ground, while others said they saw him running away around the corner. The final clue took us back to the classroom where we found a Gingerbread Man on each desk! Most children ate his legs first so he couldn't run away again!! It was a fun way for us to find our way around the school. You can see photos of it here.
