HAPPY NEW YEAR

In first grade we started 2019 off with a "pop" and a "bubble".  We popped out bad habits by popping pop corn, and we bubbled in resolutions with sparkling grape juice.  We even added some party blowers to enhance the fun!!!

Second semester will be filled with lots of learning, community service and fun.  We elected Lilly Heape and Ben Hutto as our Valentine Queen and King today.  We will help them raise "$-votes" for our class.  Good luck and thank you to Lilly and Ben.  We will help our school's fundraiser by selling World's Finest Chocolates during the month of January.  On Friday, January 18 we will pay $1.00 to wear jeans and the money raised will help a THA family in need.

We are so excited to be hosting our annual Grandparent's Day on Friday, February 1st.  We will have a musical program in the gym followed by an ice cream sundae bar and a chance to take our special grandparents on a tour of our classroom and the school.  This is always a fun and busy day at THA.  

On Saturday afternoon, February 2 you may see some of our first grade girls in glitz and glamour for the Little Miss THA pageant and that night the Jr. Class will sponsor a Daddy~Daughter Sweetheart dance for the girls in K/3~4th grade.  

On Monday, February 4 we will celebrate our 100th day of school.  We will do many activities in our classroom which center around the number 100.  The lower school will be collection items to donate to JARM (Jasper Animal Rescue Mission) so that we can help our local fur babies.

In our classroom you will catch us studying about polar animals and their habitats.  We are all readers now and our sentences are getting more and more detailed each week.  We might just turn into 2nd graders very soon!!!  Stay tuned for the many fun things to come in first grade!
