OCTOBER 8-OCTOBER 12

We are now into the month of October. Both first grades will be going to the Pumpkin Patch on Wednesday, October 24. We will leave school by 12:30 and return by 2:30. Permission slips have gone out or will be going out.

Mrs. Mills' first grade class will join the 8th grade in going to Cherish. We will entertain. We will leave at 11:00 and will return in time for the children to have lunch and recess.

We are into the 2nd level of our Reading program, so we are moving right along. We are working on short i, contractions, cause and effect, sequencing, categories, spatial relationships, possessives, vocabulary and comprehension. We just took a cumulative math test covering Chapters 1-3. We are now back into addition facts up to 12. It is always a good idea to review math facts on a daily basis. Flashcards are great for this. We are also learning about plants and what they need in order to grow. In Religion we are learning about God's promise to always love us. Your children are very enthusiastic about all of this learning.
