This week we will be reading and discussing what makes pets special. Today we read Cool Dog, School Dog. It is about a dog that misses her owner so much after he starts school that she breaks into the building. Later this week we will also read about how to care for pets, and two short stories about a pet dinosaur and a pet pig. Several families wanted books to read at home. I sent a bag home for each child on Thursday. Once your child reads their book once, they can bring it back for a new one. If you opted not to have books sent home, that's okay. I appreciate any and all time spent reading at home!
Thank you again to everyone for attending conferences last week! It was great to spend a few minutes chatting about your child. I loved getting to know each family a bit better too. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your dedication to first grade!
Have a wonderful week!
