Reading Buddies and Raising Money

Dear families,

It's been a while since we had reading buddies with Stefanie's class, but today we did! Owen and other reading buddies were really good at reading clearly. We read poems from poetry books that the fourth graders wrote when THEY were in first grade or kindergarten with Clara. Now we're writing our own poems and we'll make a book too, just like them.

This Friday, today, we get to have snack sale, we get to see the fourth and fifth graders do a show, Rosie's Broadway Kids from Broadway and it's a musical. It's a totally fun day!

In our fundraising for our snack sale, we are going to do something in our class really fun, making fruit salad for our snack sale! We're going to cut up the fruit ourselves. The money is going to go to Heifer International to give farm animals to people who need it.

We already made $177.23 from collecting change in our "Change for Change" bags. WOW!!! This morning we guessed how much money we'll make all together after we have our sale. We guessed $1000, $200, $201, $250 and $315.08, and other guesses too. We'll tell you how much we made after we count it on Monday.

By,
The First Graders

p.s. We promise to tell you how much money we raised!

  1. I can't wait to hear how much money the class raised after the fruit salad (which was so much fun)!
    You guys should be proud of yourselves for your hard work. It is such a good cause!

  3. Hey 1st Graders,
    I just wanted to say that Friday's fruit salad & lemonade were super sweet & delicious really the perfect snack to start off the weekend. You should all be very proud. I too would love to find out how much was raised. I am also very curious to hear about your experience on the bio bus. I wish there had been a bio bus around when I was a kid.

    Best,
    Miriam (Diego's mom)
