Review
of our week:
We
are almost finished with our alphabet review. We are doing something this year
called Daily 5. It is a lot like
centers, but a little different. We have
been learning how to do Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listening, Writing and
Word Work. I introduced syllables and practiced clapping the syllables in our
names and other words. This would be
something that you could work on at home.
In math we have been finishing up on patterns, we have also been working
on number sense and counting patterns.
Book
Order:
I am
sending home the October book orders. If
you would like to order books they need to be turned in by Thursday, September
27. I know it is kind of early, but I
want to get them ordered before SEP’s. I usually do one every month. Remember,
you can also order online. There is a
new code for our class. It is
L9GWX. If it doesn’t work, let me know.
Homework:
Reading
records are due every Friday. I have some really fun prizes for those students
who reach the reading goal. The reading
goal is at least 5 nights every week.
Even if every apple is not filled in please have your child turn in what
they have done. I am getting a lot of reading
records that do not have the parent’s signature. Please make sure you sign your child’s
reading record. It is very important
your child is doing their reading homework.
I am sending home a homework paper about your neighborhood and community.
They are due back by Friday.
We
are learning about rocks. I need your
child to go on a rock hunt and bring in a rock next week. It has to fit in their hand, but big enough
that we can take a good picture of it.
It can be any kind of rock they would like.
SEP’s:
I am
sending home a paper that tells you when your SEP is. I need you to sign it and mark if you can
make your appointment or not. If you
can’t make it please let me know as soon as possible, so I can reschedule
it. We coordinated with other teachers,
so please try to make your appointment.
Remember school gets out everyday at 2:30, even on Wednesday.
Reading
Parents:
We
started reading this week. If you didn’t
make it, we would love to see you next week.
If there is anybody else who would like to come in and read we would
love to have you, or if there is a grandparent who would like to come in we
would love to have them as well.
Spirit
Fridays:
The
PTA is starting Spirit Fridays. They
would like everybody to wear their school shirts on Fridays. It can either be an old one or they are
ordering new ones. I am sending home the
paper for shirts. They will be doing
prizes for those students who are wearing them.
F.Y.I’s
*I just wanted to remind you that Library is on Tuesday. I have some students who have not brought
their books back. I would really like
them to get new books every week.
*As it starts to get cold please make sure your
child is coming with a jacket. We will
still be going out for recess when it starts to get cold.
