We had another great week in first grade!

Ask your child...

*  something they learned about fire prevention (we studied this all week).  Also pick a meeting spot in case of a house fire (if you don't already have one)

*  about our bus evacuation drill (in the rain:)

*  about picture day

*  about the new sounds (digraphs) we learned in Fundations.  Have your child say the letter names, the sound they make and the corresponding picture (sh /sh/ ship, ch /ch/chin, th /th/ thumb, wh /wh/ whistle, ck /ck sock)

*  about Writer's Workshop.  The children have been working on planning out stories across 3 page booklets, sketching their ideas, and then goig back to write the words.  Also ask them what to do when they think they're finished (add to a story or start a new one)

*  what we have been learning in math...doubles (4+4, 5+5), near doubles (4+5, 5+6), and combos to 10

Reminders and Important Information  

Conference schedules
Hopefully everyone received an email and has signed up for a time and date to meet in November.  If not, please do so ASAP

Math Night
In Novemeber there will be a night to come and learn about math.  More information to come soon!!!

Halloween Parade
The Halloween parade will be on 10/30 at 9:30 in the morning.  We have changed the parade to the morning this year so that the half day Kindergarten can participate.

This is all for now!  Have a great week!
