Week 7

Here and there:

·       See you all next week at your scheduled conference time. I look forward to talking about the day to day joys of having your child in our class.  Again, please be on time to make the most of our appointment.

·       Early release next week, dismissal is at 1:25.

·       Picture day is next week on September 27^th. 

·       BOOK FAIR time, a very favorite time of year! The book fair will be next Monday-Thursday open from 2:00-4:00. Please stop by after your conference or after school with your child to do a little shopping.

·       Book fair wish list: There are a few books that we would love to add to our class library! If you would like to donate a book it would be greatly appreciated, I always love to read from books that have been donated in the past. They bring back all the joyful times of that unit and student.

o   We are wishing for:

§  The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal by Nick Seluk

§  Pig Star by Aaron Blabey

§  Try a Little Kindness by Henry Cole

§  The Three Little Superpigs by Clair Evans

·       For the month of September we will be focusing on EFFORT. I am able to observe effort as students show neat and accurate handwriting, make thoughtful connections, and acts in ways that are helpful to our room 19 culture.  When we put all of our energy into our obligations our time together will be extremely valuable. I cannot wait to award another room 19 classmate who continually shows effort.

A look at next week…

Spalding

We will continue to do our OPR and WPR routines daily. I can see the improvements so far this year and appreciate efforts made by our fabulous first graders.  Thank you for helping your student with their nightly spelling homework. I love to see those Spalding notebooks daily!

Reading

Continuing with Aesop’s fables, the students have really enjoyed the stories and finding the moral of each fable.

Math

Onto one of my favorite units, geometry! Next week we will start with 2-D shapes and identify the attributes of each closed figure. The students will identify and draw shapes, I look forward to the connections!

Science

Science will consist of a review of the human body.

History

I will be assessing their knowledge of all symbols in our unit. What a great unit to start the school year with!

See you all next week!
