Dear Families-

Christmas break is almost here! We have had a great quarter and I look forward to the rest of the year with these kids. They have all been making so much progress and I am excited to watch them grow the rest of the year.

Our final day of school before our break is this Wednesday, December 19^th. We get out at 11:30 and there is no after school so please make sure your child is picked up by 11:30. Thank you for your help with this!

Report cards will go home on Tuesday in your child’s folder. Please sign the attached paper and return it to school. You can keep the report card.

This Tuesday we will have our Polar Express day. We will be doing a lot of activities relating to the book Polar Express and have a Polar Express celebration. Because of this, your child may wear their pajamas to school on Tuesday. We do have P.E. though so please make sure they wear appropriate school shoes. 

There is no homework over the break but please make sure you have your child read. It will make sure they don’t fall behind over the break. Please also have them practice tying their shoes! This is a very important first grade skill, but many of the children do not know how to do it yet. 

 

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please e-mail me at jcochran@lpatucson.org. 

I hope you all have a fantastic holiday with your children! I will see you all back at school on Thursday, January 3^rd.

Thank you for your support,

Jenna Cochran

There is only a week and a half left until Christmas break! We will be busy and have a lot of things going on!

Tuesday is our Christmas program. It will take place at 2:00pm in the cafeteria. It will last about 20 minutes. Afterwards you can take your child with you if you would like, but please let me know and sign them out in the office. For the Christmas program your child can wear jeans, and either a red uniform shirt or a holiday shirt.

Next Wednesday, December 19th, is our final day before the break. School will be dismissed at 11:30 and there will be no after school program. Please make arrangements to have your child picked up promptly at 11:30 on this day. This is also report card day, but I will be sending home report cards on Tuesday, December 18th so please check your child's folder for their report card.

This class has been doing a fantastic job with dress code! Just a quick reminder, jackets and sweatshirts that are worn inside the classroom must be red, white or navy blue and any clothes worn under the uniform that are visible also must be red, white or navy blue.

There is no homework this week or next week. Please continue to read with your children, and please make sure you are reading with them over the break. They are doing so well, but if they go two weeks without reading it can really set them back quite a bit. Thanks for your help with this!

I hope you all have a fantastic break with your children! As always, if you have any questions or concerns please let me know! The best way to reach me is via e-mail. My e-mail address is jcochran@lpatucson.org. I will do my best to get back to you within 24 hours.
