October 9th-13th

Dear First Grade Families,

It is fire safety week, and today the fire department will be visiting our school. They will remind us about dialing 911 and checking that smoke detectors work in our homes. A brave teacher will also get to climb to the top of the fire truck ladder...how fun!

Our annual Hawthorne Jog-a-thon is coming on November 2nd so keep an eye out for pledge envelopes coming home soon. This is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year so please help your child ask family, friends, and neighbors to help out our school.

Homework for the week is as follows:

• Math pages 23-28

• Read little books nightly

• Practice word wall words: do, up, like

• Second Steps activity

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Van Gaale
