Review
of our week:
Things
are going great in our class. In math we
have been working on doubles plus 1 and making a ten to add. We wrote “How To
Carve A Pumpkin.” I was very impressed
with how well they all did. We had a great time at the pumpkin patch last week. I just wanted to thank all of you for your
help and support. I really do appreciate
it. You are all so wonderful.
Homework:
Reading
records are also due back on Monday.
Please, make sure your child is reading every night. There are not very
many students using RAZ Kids at home. This is a great resource that I purchased
for our class, please try to use it.
Sight
Words:
I
have a lot of students who have not brought their paper back saying they are
ready to pass them off. This is holding
your child back from moving on in their reading. There are also several that should have
passed most of them off. I really need
you to practice those words with your child.
If you don’t know where the list is please let me know and I can get you
a new one.
Veterans:
I
would like each child to find out if they have any Veterans in their
family. If they do, I would like them to
find out any information and find pictures.
If you could send things that we can keep, at least for awhile that
would be great. If you can make a copy of the pictures, so that we can keep it,
that would be the best. If it is
something that your child can just bring for the day and share, we would love
to see it. Part of our first grade core
is American Symbols, so we are going to be really focusing on patriotism. If you could send them sometime next week,
that would be great.
Book
Orders:
I
will send home the Book Orders for November on Monday. If you are ordering
books for Christmas just let me know, so I can pull them. If you would like to order books they are due
back by Thursday, November, 5th.
I have some birthday book certificates I purchased for the class. I will order a book for each child, for their
birthday. If your child has a paper
attached to their book order, please go through and help your child pick a book
for their birthday. If your child has
not turned theirs in from last month, you can still do that. I will do this every month with the book
orders. If you have any questions about
books, just let me know.
FYI’s:
·
I am sending home Progress Reports. On the
counting if they were able to count by 1’s to 120 I circled 1’s. If they were
not able to do it, I wrote at the bottom what number they were able to count
to.
