Dear Parents,
This week is Kindness week at school. We are focusing on using kind words and doing acts of kindness. Yesterday we worked on saying "please" and "thank you." Today (Tuesday), we wrote kind notes to people. Tomorrow (Wednesday) we will focus on self-esteem; Thursday's focus is service, and Friday's focus is celebrating kindness.
We watched this kindness song yesterday and today and will continue throughout the week:

In first grade, we are also having Grinch week this week. We read the Grinch story, drew the Grinch's face, and we will continue to do other Grinch-related activities this week (reading, writing and math). As part of this, we will have a Grinch dress-up day on Thursday (please see the note below). These first graders are wonderful and I am grateful to get to be with them every day!
