Grade 1 with Mrs. Read

Happy Valentine's Day to the sweetest class! I hope today is full of love, kindness and some extra big hugs from the people you love most. I miss you all very much and hope to see you all very soon!  Love,  Mrs. Read  

 Hi Parents,  Please refer to this link for the blog for this week.  https://mrkurtznls.blogspot.com/ Thanks! 😊 - Mrs. Read

Thursday February 9th is the start of Numeracy Week!  Here are some ways we are celebrating as a school for Spirit Days:  -Thursday Feb 9: Wear a number day  -Friday Feb 10: Multiples Day (ideas: wear multiple of something, dress in the same colour, wear a repeating pattern or match with someone in the school or class) 

  If you are participating in Valentine's Day, you do not need to bring Valentines for both classes and can bring in for just your homeroom class. However, we do ask that if you bring in a Valentine for someone in the other homeroom class that you bring one for the whole class so that no one is left out. Thanks so much!  Here are the student lists:  Mrs. Read's Class Audrey  Homan  Ayden  Chloe B.
