Thank you to all that have turned in the Pumpkin Patch permission slip with the money. As of now I will be using all drivers for the Pumpkin Patch unless you do not have the needed paperwork. Those of you who said you could drive if I needed you, I do not need you as I have plenty of drivers. Thank you.
Our first grade service project will be to bring in items to be taken to the D Street Homeless Shelter. I will be sending home a note about the kinds of items that are needed.
We have started Level II in reading. In reading we are reviewing contractions, compound words, endings of s, ed, and ing, cause and effect, categories, predictions, short a and i, plurals, vocabulary, words in correct order for a sentence, rhyming, and comprehension. During the week I will be testing each child individually on reading vocabulary. In math we have started a new chapter on subtraction. Next week I will be giving subtraction timed tests. In science we are still working on the ecosystem. In social studies we are beginning to learn about the United States and symbols of our country. In religion we are talking about God's creation, Baptism, grace and the things we are thankful for that God gave us. In spelling we are working on short i words.
Friday is the end of the first quarter. Report cards will go out the following week.
Once again thank you for all of your support and for signing those planners. Your children have been very good about returning homework and returning the readers.
Please remember to mark your child's sweatshirts or sweaters. The weather has cooled off and it is difficult to know whose sweatshirt is whose if their is no name in it. I have tried to mark those that were unmarked.
Please remind your children to use the bathroom during recess and lunch hour recess. Recently some of the students are having to leave while I am giving a test or teaching.
