Happy Halloween from our cute little monsters!! Have a safe and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Hello all!

I hope you have had a great weekend!!

We are beginning our second nine weeks period.

This week:

Word Work: We are continuing alphabetical order to the second letter.

Guided Reading: Guided Reading groups continue.

Spelling: We are not going to have new words this week. We will be re-visting and reviewing the ones we have had so far. Remember these words are in every thing they will read and write and will improve fluency and chunking while reading and writing to make our little firsties better readers. They are very important.

Math: Subtraction will be introduced. This concept will be a new way of thinking for these kiddos. We will be talking about what it means and words that help us to decide if it is an addition or subtraction problem or scenario.

Social Studies: We will begin studying national symbols.

Things to remember:

October 31-NO Costumes

November 2-Early Release at 11:30

Here are our little sweeties creating triangles using our geoboards and rubber-bands!

We had a great time today!!

I adore these kids!!

 

 

All students need to wear jeans and tennis shoes tomorrow to Calie’s Acre. They will be running, playing, and exploring outside in hay and around animals.  Do not dress up for Red Ribbon week tomorrow.

All kids will need to bring a SACK lunch (no lunchboxes) and a drink. If you need a lunch provided please email me ASAP so I can let the cafeteria know so your child will have a lunch.

If you would like to join us, we are leaving at 9:15 from the school. You can follow behind us or meet us there. You will be responsible for your own child. If you would like to take them at the end of the field trip you MUST sign them out from me.

It is going to be a really fun day!! If you have any questions or concerns please email me. [email protected]

 

Today is the end of the nine weeks and report cards will be coming out next week.

Today, as a class we emptied our desks to start our next 9 week period off fresh. A lot of your kiddos will be bringing LOTS of assignments that they have completed… but never brought home because it was stuffed into their desk. I promise you we have been doing work every day but some of you just may have never seen it haha. I reminded them of cleanliness. Please take a moment to look in their folder and backpack and remind them to bring work home so you can see how awesome they have done!

The field trip is next Tuesday!! It will be a fun experience for our friends! If you haven’t paid or let me know you need help, please do so by Monday. Again, if there isn’t a permission slip signed, they will not be able to attend. Also send their lunch note back by Monday so our cafeteria can know who will need a sack lunch 🙂

 

It’s been an AWESOME 9 weeks and these 1st graders have been working hard!! I hope you see the improvement and I am thankful for all that you do to help with reading and homework!! They will continue to grow and learn…. and I am so excited to be their teacher! They are all so precious and loved!!

 

 

 

IMPORTANT

$7 for Callie’s Acre is due tomorrow, along with the permission slip. If you are having trouble paying for the field trip, please let me know. I am also sending a reminder home today. There will be a checklist about if you can provide your own sack lunch or if you will need a lunch from the cafeteria. Please read the note, check, and send back.

If you are planning on coming to the Pumpkin Patch with us remember you will need to take your own vehicle and follow us there, and please do not bring younger siblings.

No school this Friday for the kiddos.  The end of the 9 weeks is this Friday and report cards will go home next Thursday along with a note about fall conferences.  Please call or e-mail me with any questions you may have when you get their report cards.

Red Ribbon Week is next week. WE WILL NOT dress up on Tuesday because of our field trip. They will need to wear a White Oak shirt and tennis shoes.

Thank you!!
