We are having an Atlanta United Day on Friday December 7th in commemoration of the MLS Cup this weekend!

Dear Parents,
What a great time to be in Atlanta this weekend! Our very own professional soccer team, Atlanta United, has qualified for the Major League Soccer (MLS) Cup!  What is the MLS cup?  This is the equivalent of the Super Bowl for soccer, and the first time Atlanta United has qualified, which is impressive for a two year old team.
Friday (12/7) is our Atlanta United Spirit Day!   Please have your child wear their Atlanta United gear, red shirt, gold shirt, or black shirt. Students still need to wear their standard attire bottoms. We want to rep our hometown team!
United & Conquer!

The Giving Market

Teasley Giving Market 2018

The Giving Market is near!  The kids LOVE this event every year, getting to shop for holiday gifts for their family and friends!  All sales benefit Teasley through our TIGER PAWS Foundation, which pays for initiatives such IB Resources, Learning Commons and Sports Complex, etc.
We love that this holiday shop inspires generosity, provides high-quality gifts, and allows every student to participate. 1st -5th Grade students will attend the Giving Market during their scheduled class time on 12/13 and Pre-K and Kindergarten will attend on 12/14. 
So we will need lots of volunteers like YOU to make The Giving Market run for our students.  Sign up for a time to help the students shop and spread holiday cheer! 
This year each volunteer will be given a Holly Jolly necklace and $5 credit to use at The Giving Market!  
The Giving Market will be located in the Gym, but please check-in at the front office. 
We look forward to serving alongside you,
Teasley PTA & PAWS Leadership

Happy Thanksgiving

November Classroom News
Thank you to everyone who donated to our Teasley Tiger Trot!!! I can’t wait to see how much fun the kiddos will have using the basketball goals, the 4 square section, and the hopscotch boards!!!
Our field trip to Fernbank will be the Wednesday after we return from Thanksgiving Break.  At this point, only about half of our class permission forms have been returned.  Please make sure that you return them ASAP.  Also, we are looking for some chaperone's to go on the trip.  Parents would need to purchase an entrance ticket, and may need to arrange transportation separate from the children.  Please let me know if you would be willing to help with this fun trip.
Additionally, all parent volunteers and now required to complete an Acknowledgement of Volunteer Responsibilities form before they are able to participate in our fun activities.  Please complete and return the form, even if you do not plan to help at this particular event.  We will keep it on file for future events, and hope to see you soon!
Cold Weather
As the temperatures start to drop, please make sure your child is coming to school with appropriate warm weather clothing. Your child should wear standard attire sweaters, sweatshirts and tights in the building. Sweaters/Sweatshirts: NO HOODED sweaters or sweatshirts are permitted to be worn inside during the school day with the exception of a Teasley hooded sweatshirt. All sweaters and sweatshirts must be a SOLID navy, light blue, black, gray, purple, or white.

IB Unit Information

Here is an online game to practice the continents and oceans: 
 As a first grade, we will be finishing our second IB unit in December. Our last activity will include researching and learning about a country. We encourage you to talk with your child. Ask them to share about the culture they are interested in learning about or researching. It is amazing to see what they know!
