Supply List for 2014-2015

Dear Future First Grade Parents,

The 1st grade supply list is missing a crucial supply! If possible please send your child with a pencil box for the upcoming school year.  This will help your child keep their materials organized.  Thank you so much!

Ms. Tan

Survivor

For the past 2 weeks your child has been earning "income" in class.  Last Friday, the 1st graders went shopping to help them survive on a desert island.  Using their knowledge of wants and need, they went to HEB, a clothing store, REI, and a toy store.  Today we played survivor to see who would survive.

Here are our survivors! They were very prepared and had all necessary items to survive on the desert island for an extended period of time.
