Hi everyone!  We are back to a normal week...sort of!  :)

Parent/Teacher conferences- went well!  I really enjoyed talking to each and every one of you about your child.  Thank you so much for coming and making your child's education a big deal!

Homework- we do have it this week.  It was handed out today and is due Friday morning.

Field Trip- is next week on Friday Nov. 7th!  I have most permission slips turned back in, so thank you!  If you haven't please get that turned in to school ASAP because we need to turn in a lunch count to those who are getting a sack lunch from the school.

Halloween Fiesta- will be this Friday in our classroom!  The kids may wear their costumes to school because the parade will be in the morning from starting at 9:30 and the party will follow at 9:45.  If you are a room parent you are more than welcome to come early and set up while we are in the gym showing off our costumes.  The party will end at 10:30.  At that time, we will start taking off our costumes for lunch, so please have your child pack some clothes so they can change.  In the afternoon, the kids will be watching a Halloween movie in the gym :)

Kiwi bags- please remember to read at home every night with your child.  The more they read, they better they will get!  Also, please remember to put the books back in the bag because we use them here at school as well.  The thick colored sheets of paper that are inside the plastic Ziploc baggie are tools to use with your child when sounding out words, and comprehension.  Please refer to this because theses are skills that will help them move up in reading levels.

Red Ribbon week- a small sheet was sent home last week with all of the details for each spirit day this week.  Today was crazy sock day, tomorrow is favorite team shirt day, Wednesday is hat day, Thursday is crazy hair day, and Friday is costumes!

Box Tops- Congratulations to Madi Droge for bringing in the most box tops in our class!  She will be getting a special treat at lunch from me.

That is all I have for this week.  If you have any questions or concerns please call or email me!  Have a great week.

GO ROYALS!

This week and next week are going to feel crazy!  Lots going on!  Take a peek...

Parent Teacher conferences are this week.  I sent out an email attachment with our schedule just as a reminder for your time.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone and talking about your kiddo!

No Homework- we don't have any this week due to the short week.  Some of the kids came up to me today saying that I forgot to hand it out, but really they forgot I told them we didn't have any because it was a basically a three day week.

Field Trip- I have had a few forms come in this week, thanks for turning them in!  If you need another copy please let me know so your kiddo can bring it back to school.  I have to have the form turned back in so I know what their plan is for lunch.

Halloween party- is next week.  The parade in the gym to show off costumes is at 9:30.  The party is in the classroom starting at 9:45 and ending at 10:30.  The kids may wear their costumes to school that morning, and we will change out of their costumes before lunch.

If you have any other questions or concerns please call or email me!  See you soon!

Hey everyone!  Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Again, GO ROYALS!

Below is some information for this week, so take a peek!

Field Trip- I sent the blue permission slip/informational note home with the kids last week.  I have already gotten like 10 back, so I am still waiting on some to be returned.  Your child can not go without turning it back in to me.  That slips lets me know what they are doing for lunch, and if you are or are not coming.  Very important :).  Also, grandparents are more than welcome to be the adult that comes along!

Spelling- We only have four days this week and three days next week so we are combining them with the same spelling list.  The Family Times sheet attached to the weekly homework includes the words that will be tested.  But, they won't be tested until next week so no spelling test this week.

Clorox wipes- I am in need of some so if you would like to donate some to the classroom that would be AMAZING!

Parent Teacher conferences- I have sent out emails, but tonight I sent home an orange reminder slip of your day and time you are conferencing with me.  I am looking forward to meeting with each and every one of you about your child :)

Great behavior- I sent an email out Friday about our great monthly behavior reward.  Every year, I like to allow the students who have good behavior each month each lunch with me in the classroom.  They love it, and I enjoy it as well.  I checked everyone's purple Take Home Folder last week, and if they didn't have any yellow, orange, or red days I have them a Star Student sticker for the month of Aug. and Sept. (since Aug was short).  If they have a sticker they will be eating lunch with me this Friday in the classroom!

That is all I have for this week.  Four day week- remember no school Friday!

If you have any questions or concerns please call or email me.

Hi everyone, hope you had a great weekend...what about those ROYALS!  So exciting!

Anyway, below is some new information for this week so take a peek!

October newsletter- will be handed out tomorrow, and it has a lot of information on it about this busy month!  There is also information about our Halloween party!

Zoo Field Trip- we usually take our field trip in the spring, but decided to take it now in the fall.  We will be going on November 7th.  The first grade teachers are just now getting an informational letter out now because we had to wait on it to be approved.  This field trip informational letter will be coming home tomorrow as well, so please look it over!

Reading testing- I have started testing, and will have your child's reading level information for you at conferences.

Weekly Homework- thank you for spending some time with your child to get their weekly homework done.  It shows your child that you care about their education, and that school is important!  It also teaches them responsibility, because they have to complete it on time and turn it in to me on Fridays.  I try to make homework stuff that takes less than 15 minutes, so hopefully finding time to complete it isn't hard.

Community Family Projects- we are finally done sharing them!  Thank you for spending some time with your child and completing this project with them, they had fun making and sharing!  They also did a great job presenting, and it will go toward their Speaking and Listening grade on their grade card.

That is all I have, if you have any questions or concerns please call or email me!

Have a great week!
