March 13th News and Notes

First Grade Items Needed
For upcoming Math lessons, we will be building a classroom "grocery store".  I would like to have each first grader bring in one empty food box or container that we can use for this project.  Please have these items at school by Wednesday of this week.

Second Grade Item Needed
Since second graders are working out of two classrooms, we are having some issues with school supplies.  It would be helpful if each second grader could bring one new eight count box of crayons.  They can keep this box downstairs, and also have crayons upstairs in their pencil boxes. Please send this new box to school by Friday of this week.

Thanks in advance for your help on these projects!
