Wow, October was quite busy. I am surprised how quickly November has arrived. This is one of my favorite months!
This week our focus in whole group reading will be /r/ as in rabbit and /ea/ as in eagle. Some of our writing jobs will related to rabbits. Please continue to listen to your child read the Read Well homework stories each night, just the last 2 or 3 units. These should be read fluently and with expression. I will send home center work this week for you to review. I hope that you are enjoying seeing the activities that we are doing in class. The students are learning so much so quickly.
We will begin place value in math this week. We just completed graphs this week. I have to say that the students really enjoyed the graphing activities that we did with that chapter. I hope that place value is as much fun for them.
Things to remember:
Spirit of Giving PTA Meeting - November 6th at 6:00 p.m.
Progress Reports and AR Reports will be going home on November 6th. I will be available for any needed conferences on Thursday (11/13), Tuesday (11/18), or Thursday (11/20).
I will be out of school on Friday, November 7th. Mrs. Dale will be my substitute and she is really good. She has subbed for me many times before and knows what I expect.
Book Fair will be going on until Friday, November 7th. The book fair will be open at the PTA meeting. Also, if your child is buying books during the school day, please remember to send their money to school in an envelope with their name and "Book Fair" written on the outside of the envelope. NO STUDENT will be allowed to go to the book fair without that envelope, even if they have a book fair flyer and money. Due to the book fair, students will not be able to check books out from the library for AR testing. So, I am allowing the students to borrow books from my classroom library for AR testing.
November Book It! Students will need to take at least 4 tests a week to accomplish the goal for the month. So, please make sure that your child can get that many tests a week in. I would LOVE to give out a FREE pizza ticket to EVERYONE this month!
****SCHOOL HOLIDAY - Tuesday, November 11th!****
Manners of the Heart Workshop for Parents is November 12th. This workshop will be in the library from 8:30 to 10:30 and will help you reinforce the character lessons that I teach at school. Anne Shoemaker will be leading the workshop, and she is just wonderful! I sure hope that you can attend!
The first grade will be attending the Cinderella performance by the Alabama Dance Theatre at the new Montgomery Performing Arts Centre on Friday, November 21st. I sent the announcement and permission slip home on Tuesday, November 4th. The cost for students is $10.00 and does include the cost for the bus. ALL MONEY IS DUE BY MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH. As more information is given to me, I will pass it along to you.
Have a wonderful week!
