9-2916

We had an amazing week! I am truly enjoying teaching this group of kiddos. They are a fun, happy group of kiddos.

Notes:

- Please bring a change of clothes for your child in a zip-lock bag. These are helpful for accidents or during a rainy field trip!

-Pumpkin Patch Field trip next Friday!

-You can purchase a t-shirt from Mrs. Warner for field trips if you have not already.

- Pictures from picture day will be sent home in a few weeks and you pick the ones you would like to purchase.

-Grandparents day is coming up on October 14th. We will send home invitations next week but if they work you can give them a heads up=) Exact time and info will be out next week. It will be in the morning though.

-We will need a few helpers on Grandparents day to help with an ice cream bar, and if you can donate some ice cream or toppings that would be great!

-We had our safe touch talk this afternoon with the kiddos. If you would like you can follow up with what we talked about.

I hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of their weekend! We had a fun filled week continuing to build stamina in our reading time, starting our math rotations and stations, and learning how to use our technology this week!

Next week students will begin to practice their handwriting skills, we will continue to practice our letters, reading and writing, and we will begin our community helpers unit. I would love to end our community helpers unit by learning about those in the medical field. If you have any dramatic play toys, costumes, stethoscopes ect, and would be willing to let our class barrow it for the day I would so appreciate it!

I apologize that I did not send how the bible verse today, but here is a copy and I will send the paper copy home on Monday!

Notes-

*The next couple weeks we will be learning about community helpers. If you would like to come and talk about your career I would love to have you! Especially any nurses, doctors, police men, construction workers, farmers, and fire fighters!

*I know students bring their own snacks for the afternoon, but the students have been getting so hungry in the morning that I have been giving out community snacks. If you would like to donate to this I would appreciate it. We are almost out.

*Continue to work on Sight words nightly, and everyone should be moved to list 2 by Friday. If you have concerns please let me know, as all students work at their own pace.

We have made it through our first full week of school! It was great seeing everyone at curriculum night! If you were unable to make it I sent home the take home papers in your child's folder. Our first home work came home today. Please practice the Bible verse and sight words nightly, and of course read with your child every night. The best way to become a better reader is to read!=) For our sight word lists, they will be individually paced. So if your child knows these words you can sign the list and send it back Monday and I will test them and send a new list. Our goal is to at least finish one list every 2 weeks.

Notes-

If you have not bring ear buds please do so in the next few weeks.

Library books are due back Wednesday.

If you need more payback books to sell you can ask Mrs. Warner. The winning class gets a pizza party!
