First Grade End of the Year ABC Countdown

April 28, 2016

Dear First Grade Families, It’s hard to believe the school year is coming to an end soon! For the last 26 days of the school year, we will have an Alphabet Countdown! This will start tomorrow, Friday, April 29th. You will find a calendar of themes/activities on the back of this letter. Your child may want to bring certain items on various days. These days are recognized with an * in the box. We hope the first graders enjoy last days in first grade. We have truly enjoyed working with your children this school year. They are ready to be 2nd graders!

Sincerely,

The First Grade Team
