First Grade Findings

Welcome to our First Grade Blog!

We are trying this new idea out to keep everyone up to date on what is going on in our classrooms!

We are excited to share your children's learning experiences with you while also keeping you up to date with school functions!

November 5th-9th

Saigling’s fall Book Fair is
November 5th – 9th
from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm.

On Wednesday, November 7, Early Release,

Book Fair will only be open from
8:30 am to 11:00 am.

Our annual Book Fair Family Night will be Thursday, November 8th.

This is the same night as Creepy Crawly, so much fun you won’t want

to miss it!
On November 8th, Book Fair will be open continuously from 2:45 pm to 8:00 pm, although the PTA meeting followed by Creepy Crawly Night does not start until 6:30 pm.

**Please use the atrium doors located off Mission Ridge to enter the building for Book Fair prior to 6:30 pm.

Here’s how the Book Fair works:

During the week, each child visits the Book Fair with their class and makes his or her purchases. You and your family are invited to come during any of our open hours. Be sure to check in at the office when you arrive. We have books for all ages, including adults! We think you’ll be happily surprised at the varied selection and reasonable prices.

Besides bringing affordable, appropriate books to our school, a goal of our Book Fair is to increase classroom libraries. One way is with the Classroom Wish List, which allows you to donate books to your child’s classroom in your family’s name. Be sure to look for the Classroom Wish List display when you arrive.

Again, we invite you to come visit our “Mad About Books” Book Fair.
Your children will be glad you did — and so will you!

Book Fair Dress-up Days:

Monday – “Reading about science is the BEST!”

(Show you are mad about science – crazy hair day!)

Tuesday – “I’m a nerd – you’re a nerd!” “I’m mad for books – you’re mad for books!”

(Dress as a nerd or twin - better yet be a twin nerd with your friends)

Wednesday – “Creepin’ & Crawlin’ in search of great books!”

(Slipper or sock day – wear slippers, mix- matched socks, colorful socks, crazy socks, etc.)

Thursday – “Blackout Day!”

(Wear as much black as possible and dress appropriately – black shirt, black pants/skirt, black

socks, black hair bow, black hat, etc.)

Friday – “Mad About Books Day!”

(Wear appropriate pajamas and curl up with a good book.)

Sincerely, Stephanie Roberts
