Dear Parents,
This year, one of the special classes that the students are attending is library. During this time, Ms. DiBona will be focusing on fiction and non-fiction reading skills, while also incorporating instruction in social studies, science, helpful living, technology, and writing.
The students will be using Scholastic News as the basis for these lessons. This is a newspaper full of current events that is strictly tailored for 1st grade students. After instruction, they will be taking the newspapers home to share with their family. They will receive 4 newspapers per month, beginning in September.
Please send in $5.00 no later than August 31st to cover the cost of your child’s subscription for the year. If possible, please write a check made out to Scholastic News. If you would rather send cash, please send in the exact amount, as we will not be able to make change.
*If you would be willing to donate $5.00 into a scholarship fund for those who may not be able to order a subscription, please indicate below, and we will contact you if this is needed.
We are excited about having this wonderful resource, and appreciate your help in obtaining it!
~The First Grade Team
