Greetings!
I hope you did enjoy your Labor Day weekend. Things are progressing nicely in the first grade. Thank you to all of you who sent the oranges. Once again I cut them up and we ate them for snack. The children really enjoyed them.
Tuesday, is the Blessed Mother's Birthday. Picture days are on Wednesday and Thursday. Make sure your child wears the uniform. I do not know which day we will be going.
On Friday, September 11, from 2:30-4:00 the student council has planned an afternoon full of games for students in grades kindergarten through second. If your child wishes to attend the cost is $4.00 and a snack and drink will be provided.
Next Sunday, September 13, is Open House at the school. The classrooms will be open 12:00 to 2:00. There will be a tri-tip lunch served from 12:00 to 3:00. I hope to see all of you there.
Last week your child brought home the first reader in our reading program. Some of these little readers are pattern books. They can be quite easy. One thing you can do to make sure your child is not memorizing the story is to have them find certain words for you. This will be a good indicator whether or not your child is memorizing or actually recognizes the words. Your child also brought home another reader with many stories in it. This is a supplemental reader and very good for extra reading.
Thank you for continuing to sign the planners. Everyone seems to be in the groove. Your child will have a math homework paper on Wednesday night. It is a problem solving worksheet. Please sit with your child, give directions and help if necessary.

Just a reminder: The vocabulary words are just that. Words that your child should be able to read. These words are not spelling words. In another week we will be starting the spelling tests which is a different list of words.
Once again thank you for all of your help and support. Keep selling those catalog items and cookie dough. If you have read this blog have your child give Mrs. Mills' a "high five". GOD LOVES YOU!
