Weekly Update for October 16th

Reminders:

·      Mustang Gallop money is due October 18^th. Please send in then. Every dollar raised is SO helpful to our school community.    

·      Our monthly school site council meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 17^th  from 4:30-5:30. At this meeting we will talk about the STEAM programs that are taking place here at Marshall. Our RTI team will also present about how we are monitoring growth and reaching individual academic needs. I encourage any parent that has the time to come please do so.  I will also be in attendance.

·      THANK you for your time and support during our parent teacher conferences. I love hearing about how your child loves and enjoys learning in room 8. It was also nice to touch base with each family as I informed them of personal strengths and areas of growth. Overall, what a fabulous start to our first grade year! I am very proud of their growth, effort and love for learning.

·      Check HW folders on Monday for updated HW routines (if talked about at conferences) and a memo about our upcoming parent night!  

·      Our Core Value for October is Enthusiasm! I am looking for students who are eager to share, help and show excitement for their learning. And what a perfect month to show enthusiasm as we are learning some pretty cool things. From Egypt to literature studies, I am enthusiastic for their enthusiasm.

Language Arts

I am SO excited to get books into the hands of the students! Mr. Coe generously purchased copies of books to read from. Just before we start our literature sets we will be reading the Native American folktale “Why the Owl Has Big Eyes”.  Following up with components of myths and story elements.

Math

Wrapping up Module 1 with adding and subtracting within 10. Keep working on the math packets for HW!

Science

Ms. Shaw is going to kick off her new human body unit.

Social Studies

Next week the students will design a sarcophagus and find interesting details about tombs and mummies.

Again, it was great to see all my families over the past week. Have a safe, restful and happy fall break!
