Welcome to October!

Fall is officially here. The weather is cool, the clouds are rolling in, the wind is a blowin...before you know it, the snow will be falling! Please remember to pack sweatshirts for recess!

LA: Today was our long LA day. We were able to work with our spelling skills (/ch/ and /tch/) and sort our spelling words for the week! We also spent time with our reading buddies. We LOVE our time together with those first grade friends! (For those students that are in the play, lines need to be memorized before our next meeting a week from today. We are also in need of parent helpers for costumes and scenery. If your child is in the play and you would like to help out, please let me know as soon as possible.) Another thing we did today was write persuasive letters. We're focusing on author's purpose this week, and so our letters today were written to me, trying to persuade me to choose their game for our class to play on Friday. I can't wait to be convinced!

HW: Fluency and Flow is due Friday. The unit 1 reading test needs to be scored and returned tomorrow!

Math: Students continued working on their Math Mania packets today. I was able to spend more time working with small groups of students reviewing skills from Unit 2.

HW: Math Mania packets are due on Monday

Health: Ms. Grannan's class had DARE with Officer Redman today, therefore, there was no Health Class.

HW: None

A Few Reminders:
*Snack time should not be a buffet! Please send only one healthy snack with your child to enjoy!
*Afternoon Adventures papers and money are due back to school by Tuesday, October 7th.
*Just in case you missed the skating party tonight, there is another on tomorrow from 6:00-8:00. Be safe!
*Students all need a clean, plastic container for music tomorrow!
*Dress accordingly on Friday, it's No Child Left Inside Day and we have a lot of outdoor activities planned!
