Voting Day tomorrow…NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS

See you Wednesday with LIBRARY BOOKS. Also Tuesday Book Bags, bring them in on Wednesday and I will have your reading Group on Wednesday.

Mrs. Smith

Of course they were RIGHT where I always put them…just looked too quickly. Oh well, the lost are found!

Conferences begin this Thursday evening and will continue next Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I am looking forward to meeting with each of my families.

Mrs. Smith

Can you believe that it’s November?? Time please slow down!

Remember to set back your clocks tomorrow night before you go to bed. Every one seems to enjoy the extra hour of sleep time, except those with toddlers and dogs. 🙂

Here’s a look at next week…

Well, for the first time in my career, I have misplaced my conference sign up sheet! UGH!

Here are the time slots and I am hoping that some of you wrote down your times. If so, would you send them to me and I will create a new list. If you didn’t record your time, that’s OK. I’ll give you a new time.

Lots pf activity and excitement going on in here. I finished assessing each student on the letters, words, and numbers from the notice that I sent home last week. I will go over the results when I meet with you at our conference.

Here’s what’s coming up this week…

LETTERS H h I i

WORDS To to go go

PHONICS Ending Sounds of swords

WRITING We’ll be writing OPINION sentences about SPIDERS AND BATS.

MATH We will begin Module 2, 2D and 3D shapes. Have some discussion this weekend about shapes. Reminder that Math Packets will go home Monday, Oct. 28 and are due the following Monday, November 4.

SCIENCE FORCES Push and Pull

THURSDAY 1:30-2:00 will be our Halloween Parade around the track

FRIDAY Half day for students 11:45 dismissal

PM Teacher Duty Day

Please don’t wait for me to introduce letters, words, math concepts. I post the following topics and teaching points every Friday so that the students can be exposed and work with some of the topics at home before arriving on Mondays. Also, please keep up a DAILY review of all letters, sounds, and words that I do each week. I am building on previous weeks and the lessons. I can always tell those who are reviewing at night, reading their books from their Book Bags, practicing Math concepts (like “1 more than 15” or “What is 1 less than 12?”), making sentences with their reading /writing words. Just 15 minutes every day is such a help to your child and teaches them the value of responsibility to their own learning. Of course, READ TO THEM EVERY NIGHT!!!

Have a good weekend!

BOO!

We will have our All School Halloween Parade next Thursday. the Parade will be from 1:30-2:00 outside around the track. The Homeroom Mothers are managing the snacks, etc for our party, courtesy of your party money donations. Thank you.

Students may bring their costume to school in the morning and I will help them change into their costume after lunch. If you’d prefer, you may take your child home for lunch at 11:45 and bring them back in costume at 12:45. It will be an exciting day for “my little pumpkins!”

See you there!

Thanks to all of the parents who volunteered to chaperone our trip today. What perfect weather!

I thought you would have taken lots of pictures at the zoo so I thought I’d show you what your kids looked like on the bus ride home.

Apologies to Max…he was sitting up forward and I didn’t see him.
