Our wonderful 2nd grade teachers wanted us to let you know that they will be having their back to school night for the 2017 – 2018 school year on Wednesday, July 19th at 2:00 p.m. in the Library Media Center. Be sure to add the date to your calendar! More info to follow.
Come See Us Perform!
During the last week of school, the 1st grade classes will perform a reader’s theater. Please join us for our presentations of “Bustle in the Bushes”, “Rumble in the Jungle” and “Bajo del Mar (Under the Sea)”. On these two days, please have your child wear all black or all dark colors.
The students will be performing on Wednesday, May 31st at 8:30 a.m and Thursday, June 1st at 1:15 p.m. These are regular school days. Your child should be at school for regular school hours. The second presentation is a repeat of the first and each show should last less than 1½ hours. Because we are expecting a large crowd, we are asking that you only attend one of the two performances. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
The First Grade Team

Old Town Field Trip Reminder
This Thursday, November 17th is the 1st grade field trip to Old Town. Please make sure that your child arrives to school on time and is wearing comfortable, closed-toed shoes. Your child will need to bring a sack lunch and disposable water or juice. We will be walking around outside for most of the day so make sure to apply sunscreen, bring a hat if desired, and wear clothing appropriate for the weather. Your child will not be permitted to buy anything so please do not send money. School will dismiss at the regular day schedule of 2:45pm.
Parents, if you have been chosen by your child’s teacher in the class lottery to be a parent chaperone, please bring a backpack that can fit five students’ lunches. You will need to carry them during our walk around Old Town. All parent chaperones will need their own transportation to and from Old Town and we will be leaving Camarena at 9:00am. If you have any questions, please ask your child’s teacher.
We are looking forward to a very exciting day!
Thank you,
First Grade Teachers
