*Check out the new photos on our class blog! http://mrshornsfirstgradeclass.blogspot.com/
*Red Ribbon Week kicks off this week. Please
wear red to school on Monday, October 26th.
*Our Character Costume Party is this Friday!
First graders are encouraged to dress like their favorite (or
semi-favorite or a familiar) character from a book on Friday, October 30st.
No need to panic or spend money. Get creative and look through old
costumes, toys, clothing. For example: while I really, really love the
book Go Dog, Go! - I do not own anything that would be suitable for a
dog costume. But, I do have a Viking costume from a Halloween party...so
I may dress up as the main character from How to Train Your Dragon
because I also like that book. I also enjoy reading The Recess Queen
- and all I need for that is my regular clothes and a crown that I wore at my
birthday party. Please send in the book that matches the character
as we will be getting together to show off our costumes and read with all the
first grade classes. The public library and school library are great
resources for this! No masks, please.
Here are three exciting event coming up! Please
send me an email if you’d like your child to participate:
Build a Lego
city with Mrs. Horn
Do you like to
build? Let's build a Lego City! This will need architects,
engineers, and designers! I am looking for a crew to build a Lego
city. Together we can work to design stores, parks, playgrounds, and
houses. We will make cars, roads, and schools. We will make
everything we need to make our city look like a real city! If you are
interested, bring your imagination and come build, build, build with Mrs. Horn!
The
more architects we have the bigger and better our city will be! All grade
levels are welcome. Send a note or email and a check for $15 per child
(payable to Harmony PTA) and join us on Thursday, November 5th
from 2:30-3:45pm. A small snack and drink will be provided.
Everyone’s a winner!
Spa
Day with Mrs. Horn
Do
you like to be pampered like a princess? Let Mrs. Horn treat you to a spa
day! Salon services include a pretty manicure, stylish hair
style (with ribbons and bows if desired), and make-up.
The
more princesses that join the better! Sign up for just $15 per child and
join us on Thursday, January 14th from 2:30-3:45pm. A snack
and drink will be provided.

sleeping bag.
