_______________ Class News Mrs. Lackey and Mrs. Arias, First Grade, DI _______ May 2-6 Date reminders: Teacher Message: Wednesday Progress Reports Go Home This week is teacher appreciation week! It is a perfect opportunity for you to tell your child who your favorite teacher or teachers were in school and why! My favorite teacher in school was an English teacher I had in high school named Mr. Green. He made books come alive for me. It was the first time I really learned how to dig deep in a book and discuss it with others. I am thankful for his impact in my life. Your child is a world changer and it is my honor to work with them. Thursday $1 for out of uniform and suckers for $0.50 Friday is Leadership Showcase Do you have your outfits ready for leadership day? We can’t wait to share our dance with you! The kids are looking great! Don’t forget about the outfit! This week’s habit is: Put First Things First This week’s quote: Strong people don’t put others down…they lift them up.
