Review
of our week:
We had a lot of fun at the pumpkin
patch. It was great to have so many
parents there with us. We have also
enjoyed Red Ribbon Week. There was lots
of crazy hair today. We are still
working on addition strategies in math.
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 picture, 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 in the next
couple of weeks, that would be great.

Review
of our week:
In
math we are really working on doubles, doubles plus one and adding to a ten. I have been seeing a lot of progress in
reading. I am very happy about
that. We also finished up our unit on
Fairy tales from other lands. We wrote about what we are going to be for
Halloween.
Reading:
At
this point I want your child to be doing the reading for all of or most of the
time, instead of having somebody read to them.
It is great if you are reading to them on top of their 20 minutes and I
would like you to continue with that, but they really need to be doing their 20
minutes of reading themselves. Reading
to them will help make them better readers also.
When your child is
reading to you please listen to the way they are reading. We are really working on fluency and
expression especially if your child is on a level F or higher. We talk about how when you are reading it
should sound like you are talking and not like a robot. Please listen to your child and help them
work on these things. This is one of the
reasons they should be reading their take home books at least 2 or 3 times. If
your child is reading on a g or higher, they only need to read it 1-2 times. I would also like them to be reading the
sight word lists. If you would like some more books for your child to read at
home, please let me know.
Red
Ribbon Week:
We will
be celebrating Red Ribbon Week next week. We will have crazy hair/pajama day on
Friday, October 26. Also, we do not wear
costumes to school on Halloween.
F.Y.I’s:
* I
just wanted to thank all of you who come in and help in our classroom it
really means a lot.
·
I didn’t get progress reports finished, I
will send them next week.
·
I will be sending home some addition
flashcards. It will really help them in
math if they can learn these math facts.
