Thank You Letters

This week we are working on writing Thank You letters.  We are beginning to go through the writing process.  Together as a class we wrote a thank you letter to our school janitor, Santiago.    The kids did a great job!


Rough Draft



The letter reads:

Dear Santiago,
Thank you for cleaning our school!  We are happy to have a clean classroom, lunchroom, and floors. 

Thank you,
Mrs. Nelson's First Grade Class

Welcome!

Welcome Parents to my blog!

I faced some delays getting started but hope to be able to update the blog now on a regular basis.  So far this year has gone so smoothly. I would like to thank everyone who has helped out so far in our class.  I would not be able to accomplish all that I have so far this year without your help.  This class is a great group of kids! I am looking forward to the wonderful oppourtunities we will have to grow and learn together this year.

Mrs. Nelson
