CLASS SITE
-I have a new website for our classroom:
https://sites.google.com/a/darienps.org/miss-dineen-s-grade-one/
-I am sure I will be adding to it as the year goes on.  Our classroom blog (www.learningplayinggrowing.blogspot.com can be accessed directly or via the website.

VOLUNTEERS
Thank you to Cassandra Hegarty and Cindy Pages for organizing all of our signups for the school year.  I have put all the dates into a Google calendar which is located on our website.

MONTHLY MINUTES
At Open House I showed a packet called “Reading Monthly Minutes”.  It has monthly calendars for the year.  We will begin on Thursday, October 1st.  This packet will come home with your child on Thursday. You can decide if you want to keep it in their homework folders, red book pouches, or hung on a bulletin board at home…whatever makes sense for your at home reading routine.  The calendars are turned in the last day of each month.

October 1: Monthly reading log begins
October 12:  No school for students  
October 22:  Game Day @ 2:30
