The First Grade Gazette

First Reading Incentive Winners Announced!

September Chargers Can Read Winners…
A number of students have earned certificates for their at home reading work. These certificates can be earned throughout the year. We are so pleased with the amount of reading being done in First Grade. We met our first class goal which involves Mrs. Senftner wearing a funny hat! Decisions, decisions...I will be wearing the hat on Wednesday and it will probably look better than my real hair style. Our next class goal is an Extra Recess! We really are working for that goal. Your reading minutes should be a combination of student and parent reading. Please feel free to use the nightly assigned homework as part of your reading minutes. Like any skill, reading improves with practice.
Students who have earned Silly Hat and/or Sock Passes include:
Evia Gavin
Trent Preston
Bo Sydney
Sam Payge
Brayden D Adrian
Taydon Bryden
Sheridan Tessa
Hunter Brayden Y
Mackenzie
Coupons were sent home in today’s folders. They may use them whenever they choose.

I look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
Until next week...Mrs. S.

This would be a good place to insert a short paragraph about your organization. It might include the purpose of the organization, its mission, founding date, and a brief history. You could also include a brief list of the types of products, services, or programs your organization offers, the geographic area covered (for example, western U.S. or European markets), and a profile of the types of customers or members served.
It would also be useful to include a contact name for readers who want more information about the organization.

Back Page Story Headline

This story can fit 175-225 words.
If your newsletter is folded and mailed, this story will appear on the back. So, it’s a good idea to make it easy to read at a glance.
A question and answer session is a good way to quickly capture the attention of readers. You can either compile questions that you’ve received since the last edition or you can summarize some generic questions that are frequently asked about your organization.
A listing of names and titles of managers in your organization is a good way to give your newsletter a personal touch. If your organization is small, you may want to list the names of all employees.
If you have any prices of standard products or services, you can include a listing of those here. You may want to refer your readers to any other forms of communication that you’ve created for your organization.
You can also use this space to remind readers to mark their calendars for a regular event, such as a breakfast meeting for vendors every third Tuesday of the month, or a biannual charity auction.
If space is available, this is a good place to insert a clip art image or some other graphic.
