Open House

Great to meet everyone!!

Wow! I had a fantastic time meeting everyone!!! It was so amazing to see the families that are raising these amazing human beings I work with each day.  Thank you all for coming out to support our school, our class and your kids!

Library

Library is every other week. We just had our session this week, so we won't be going again until the week of the 12th.  Please send in your child's library book on Tuesday the 13th.  We will schedule a special time that week since we usually go Mondays.  The next time we will go after that is Monday the 26th.

Have a great weekend!

Open House

Schedule Change

Open House is on September 30th.  The allotted time for first grade open house is from 6 - 7 pm. A flyer will be coming home with time allotments for grade levels.  Please be looking for this.

Pre-Assessments

Over the next few days, we will be conducting pre-assessments to help understand your child's learning. Then, it enables us to know how we need to group students, what needs your child has, and how best to meet those needs. These days can be long so we are doing a lot of moving to accommodate the time needed to focus.  Your kids have been troupers!

Homework

Thank you for helping so much with homework and helping to get that routine established. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or email.   

Back to School

Welcome back to school. Welcome to first grade. Welcome to new adventures in learning. When you refer to the blog, you will see upcoming events, happenings in class and other pertinent information.  

Happy Birthday to Brayden on the 6th! We are looking forward to celebrating with you next week!

Enjoy the remainder of your summer!

Picture Make Up Day is November 14. If you wish to have your child's picture retaken, please return the package you have received that day. If you have further questions, you can contact the company directly at tel:544-2610.

Thank you to Mrs. Brownlie, Mrs. Connolly, and Mrs. Berbert for sending in treats for our Halloween party. Thank you to Ms. Skarzynski for helping during our party centers. We had a fun morning and the kids looked so adorable!

Have a great week everyone! Remember to practice your sight words and reading.

Reminder

The words sent home for spelling are for practice only. There is no assignment attached to them :).

Good Evening,
Sunday brings so much action in my family.  My older boys are in basketball, so we are starting with games already. Any errands, cleaning or schoolwork not accomplished on Saturday is done and of course plenty of football watching. Thus, the lateness of my posting...

The week ahead ...
Monday is the kickoff for One School One Book and Red Ribbon Week. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMuGfpivBk4C0Q9CInIB0t93GCK7Y9vlQFrS3TGobSBZJRnTj4QyqPsIEyqr79A1ifslsjx8iK8AqxUfxrEry7vezy-qY0kVlmURImSI52RDFZ5NiZtpkY454Q4VZCoTeM9oqUxAYkx5A/s1600/red+ribbon+week.jpg. This link should take you to the happenings for the Red Ribbon Week activities.

Thursday is a half day and Halloween. Your child may wear their costumes that morning, but of course we ask that their faces are not covered and that there is no weaponry. We will be having our party that morning as well as art class.

Friday we are celebrating Isabella's birthday as well as visiting our reading buddies in Mrs. Ottman's 4th grade.

Recap from last week...
You may have noticed your child had the same book to read for a few days and over the weekend.  This will occur from time to time to enable the children to get comfortable practicing a particular strategy or learning new sight words. In this case, your children and I practiced looking closely at unfamiliar words and using familiar sounds or words inside of them to read that word.  We will review this Monday and move on to new texts.

Have a wonderful week!
