Fall Break

Fall Break is upon us!  There will be no school from October 1-October 5th.  Be sure to sign out for your report card at pick up on Friday.  There is no lunch and no after school.  School ends at 11:30am.  If you would like a conference be sure to sign up on the sheets outside the door!

Have a great break and we will see you Monday, October 8th!

Thank You!

I just wanted to say a very big thank you to all of the parents who have been helping me out the last few weeks!  Heidi, Tommy's mom, helped out with some take home projects!  Valerie, Jayla's mom, came in to class and helped out with picture day and some much needed filing!  Kristy, Jasmine's mom, brought in a bunch of box tops from her work to help earn money for our classroom!  I really appreciate all of the help!  I feel really lucky to have so many families this year who are willing to help out!  You are the best!

Free Haircuts!

JC Penney is offering free haircuts on Sundays starting in November for student from Kindergarten to 6th grade.  Be sure to check it out!  

Reading Groups

Reading groups are starting this week for sure!  (Sorry about the delay, some teachers were not all in the same place, so we had to make sure everyone was caught up!)

Phonics lessons as well as other language arts activities will be covered in reading groups.  These will be at your child's specific learning level for reading so as to give them the proper help they need.  Language arts and phonics activities will also be covered by your child's regular classroom teacher (me) as well!

Homework may look slightly different as some classes will be doing more review and others more enrichment activities.  Homework will be clearly marked so please be sure that your child finishes it and turns it in to me.  Please let me know if you have any questions!

Reading Tips!

Since this week marks the first book log added to your child's homework, I thought some tips for reading at home might be helpful!  See the links below for helping your first grader become a better reader:
