This post is full of important information, so please read through the end!
Please Sign-Up for a Conference!
Parent/Teacher conferences will be held at the end of the first quarter. I am using Sign Up Genius to schedule conferences. You can sign-up for a conference time by clicking HERE. If you are unable to attend a conference on one of the dates/times listed, please send me an email to make alternate arrangements.
Important Information about Homework:
Starting on Monday, October 10th, your child will be coming home with a weekly sight word homework assignment. The assignment will be given at the beginning of each week and will be due each FRIDAY. Your student will be receiving a list of five sight words that they are to practice writing throughout the week. Sight words for each week will also be listed in your child's agenda book. Several students are also still not completing their nightly reading homework. I cannot stress enough how important it is for your child to be reading at least 15 minutes each night. I also request that you list what was read, number of minutes, and signature each night so I am aware whether or not your child read.
Fall Party:
Our Fall Party will be held on Tuesday, October 31st. All parents are welcome to join in on the fun...but you will probably be put to work :)
If you are able to come, please come in 30 minutes prior to the party start time to help set up.
Pumpkins:
The paper was sent home yesterday about our upcoming Pumpkin Investigation. I am asking that each child bring in one small pumpkin by Thursday, October 19th. We will be observing, measuring, and decorating our pumpkins!
Focus Area for the Upcoming Week:
- Reading: We will be learning how a reading partner can help us with identifying unknown words and learning skills to decode unknown/difficult words.
- Writing: We will continue to work on our nice neat handwriting and correctly forming our letters.
- Math: We will work on our number sense unit.
- Social Studies: We will finish up with seasons and discuss fire safety.
I hope you all enjoy the long weekend! :)
