November

Tackle Hunger

Let's work together to help those in need! We will be collecting canned foods and other non-perishable food items for the entire month of November. Please clean out your pantries and/or purchase items for those less fortunate:) This is a great opportunity to show children how important it is to GIVE!

There is extra candy from our Fall Centers that I will be giving the children who bring in items. Each item will earn a piece of candy!!

 

OCTOBER

Here is our October calendar. Please refer to it throughout the month! A hard copy will be in your child's binder tomorrow.

Happy Fall!!

Class shirts

Thank you to all of the parents who sent in shirts to be dyed! Also, thank you to Titus & Ellie's moms who helped me dye the shirts a very cool green/yellow mix. They look super cool!!! The kids loved them! Also, thank you to Tram's dad who volunteered to screen print them all for us. You guys are all awesome! I couldn't do it all without you! 

Supplies/Homework

Please supply your children with the following supplies to do homework:

Crayons

PENCILS

scissors

glue sticks

These can be stored in a 3 whole punch bag in your child's binder for easy use if you'd like. This will provide your child with everything he/she needs to complete his/her homework. Please do NOT use pens on homework.

 

Braidy!

Thank you so much to the parents who were able to make it to Open House. One of the things you learned about was Braidy! If you weren't able to make it, I sent home a detailed letter all about it on Friday. Please read it over and keep your child's Braidy in a safe place. The children are super excited about it and really enjoy retelling stories with Braidy at school. 

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Sight Words

As part of your child's report card grade, he/she will be scored on reading sight words each 9 weeks. There are 50 new sight words every period. We will use these words a lot in class, but any additional assistance at home would be greatly appreciated as well. Here are PowerPoint slideshows for the 1st and 2nd nine weeks. The words will change every 3 seconds because it should take no longer than that if your child has truly memorized the word. *You can also find these words in your child's Take Home binder.

Also, please remember to use this time without "written" homework to be practicing your address, phone number and birthdate (including year) with your child! Regular homework will begin next week.Your child now has a list of 24 sight words to practice at home as well. This is all part of their "breakfast bash" homework.
