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 been
working on adding 3 numbers in math. In
CKLA, we have been working on long vowel sounds. We had a lot of fun at our
party. Thanks for everyone being willing
to send money for the pizza and the treats.
Field Trip:
We have an opportunity to go to SUU and
see the SUU Theatre Dept perform
Frog & Toad on Tuesday, November 5th at 10am. We will be walking to SUU, so
you will want to make sure your child wears good shoes and brings a jacket that
day. The tickets do cost $2. I am sorry, I feel like I keep asking you for
money. It is a really great experience
for our kids. I have included a permission slip.
Red Ribbon Week:
Next week is Red Ribbon Week. Our
wonderful PTA has some really great things planned. They will be sending home a pledge for you to fill out with your
child. Everyone who brings their pledge
back will get a certificate for a free
Crumble Cookie. We get to dress up for Halloween as one of the
days this year. There will also be a Halloween Parade. Please look at the
attached red sheet for the rules.
Monday
- Get Bandanas and pledges
Tuesday - Crazy socks and mismatched clothes
Wednesday - Sports team jersey or an SUU shirt
Thursday - Halloween costumes and or Crazy hair
Friday - Pajama Day
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 a little while
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 are almost finished with our unit on Fairy tales from
other lands. We have a student from SUU
coming and do a dance integration with this unit. We also got to go and watch
fifth grade let their volcanoes off.
Carving
Pumpkins:
I only
have 3 dads coming to carve pumpkins. I
would really like to have 3 more if I can.
It will be on Thursday, October 31 @ 10:30. If you can come and help, please let me
know. Thanks!!
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.
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 will be sending home some addition
flashcards. It will really help them in
math if they can learn these math facts.
