A Time to be Thankful




This is our classes' SchoolNotes Page





What's New for Month

 
 
    This month we will be learning about onomatopoeia , proper nouns, and main idea. We are learning more about how to decode and sound out words as well as spell them correctly. In Math we are continuing to work on addition and  subtraction, as well as exploring geometrical shapes . Please ask your student what he/she is learning. Research shows that academic performance is enhanced if a parent or guardian is involved. Thank you for your help at home. You guys ROCK!

                    Wild About AR






 We are working to earn Accelerated Reader points. Students may check out Accelerated Reader books from the library. Once they have read them, they may take a test on them. I am also reading AR books in the classroom and we are taking tests in the class as well. The library is open after school if you would like to take your student in to take a test. Once a student earns 10 points their picture is placed on the bulletin board outside the library and on our class AR board. Additional AR tests may be purchased by the library with a donation of $3.00 a test. We are always looking to expand our AR options. If you would like to purchase tests for books we have in the classroom or books that you have at home, please let me know. That would be AWESOME!!!

 









Book-It Reminder

Book-It starts next month. Each month studentswill be responsible for completing 4 book reports and submitting them before the end of the month. Students who turn in 4 book reports at the end of the month will receive a coupon for a FREE personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. Students who complete 4 reports each month and turn them in will receive an award at the Awards Day ceremony at end of the year. Book reports must be completed by the student and turned in before the end of the month.

 








We are saving Box Tops!!!!



WE are collecting Campbell soup labels, Tyson labels, and empty ink cartridges for first grade! Please continue saving these items as they help us earn money to buy supplies for our school. We are coming up on our next collection date. Please cut along the dotted lines on the Box Tops and cut the bar code out on Campbell Soup labels. Thank you for helping support our school!






A few other reminders to help you keep in the beat.



 


* Remember to check your student's folder each evening. This is my main source of communication with you.

* Should you need to send in ANY item, please send it in your child's folder (lunch money, book orders, homework envelopes, etc.).

* Please send all monies in an envelope with your student's name, my name, and what the money is for on the front. When sending money for different items please place it in separate envelopes.

* If the mode of transportation needs to change for your student, I MUST have a note. Please send a note stating how your student will be going home. I will not be allowed to change the mode of transportation without a note signed by a parent.

*Remember to listen to your student read each night and record it in the Reading Log.

*Students will be given a homework grade each 9 weeks. A point is deducted for time homework is not turned in.





Thank you for all you do to ensure that your student is prepared for class each day because learning happens everyday in first grade.


If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me via email or call the school at 442-6170.


Thanks for visiting our site, I hope that you found it helpful.
