Monday Night Update

Today I sent home our new spelling list. By the results of our pre-test, we are going to have to work hard to master the words. Please practice writing and spelling the words at home so your child will have an advantage in the classroom.
Wednesday is our library check out day. Please return books by then.
Wednesday is an early dismissal day...11:45....lunch will not be served...but we will have our classroom snack :)
I send math homework in their binders when we are going over a concept that gives the students, in general, some difficulty. Please go over the sheet with your child to clarify misunderstandings. Sometimes the students don't want to mention that they are confused during the lesson (which I understand), but they might be willing to confide in a family member.
You have great children, thanks for sharing them with me!

Reminders

Wanted to remind you that Wednesday is our library day! Please have students return their books so they can check out new ones.
Friday is the "Knight Walk"!! Our class will be bussed to Bellflower and will participate in the walk from 9-11:00 am. We would love for parents/family members to meet us there and cheer the children on as they walk 1.2 miles! Keep your fingers crossed for a 'rain-free' morning! (Please send your child in sneakers.)
When we return from our field trip....after lunch...we will take our spelling test. I have been really impressed with the students' spelling test scores! Thank you for having them write their words five times each on Thursday nights...I believe it really helps!
Our words this week are:
pin
win
hit
sit
miss
kiss
sad
map
be
ride
Also...due to the Homecoming festivities, we will dismiss early on Friday...at 1:30.
Have a great week!

Open House

Thank you to everyone for coming to Open House! I loved meeting and visiting with the families of my first graders!

The students are taking practice sheets home today.

The forms for the "Knight Walk-a-thon" are due tomorrow... this is a fun activity and a great way to raise monies for the school!

Thank you to those assigned to snack this week! Everyone has loved them! By the way, it was kindly pointed out to me that I forgot to tell you how many students we have in our class! I am sorry! We have 21 students.

Library

Our first grade class is THE ONLY CLASS IN THE WHOLE SCHOOL who returned all of their library books this week!!!!

I am beaming with pride :)
