October 3-7

Cookie dough fundraiser envelopes are due on Monday! Please be sure to return the completed order forms along with the payment to school with your child. Your support of this ONLY fundraiser is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for working with your child at home. I can see the improvement in those students who are consistently doing their homework and reading. Remember that homework should only take about 20 minutes for first graders. If you find your child needs more help in one subject than another, please feel free to alter the homework to meet your childs needs. Most important for ALL students is to take time to listen to them read every night.

Shoeboxes should be coming home this week. Inside will be the first Unit of reading books and sight words. Please keep these as a special library for your child. At the end of every unit, your child will be able to add their books to this library. These are books they will be able to read independently and are a great tool to use for their independent reading at home.

Halloween will be here before you know it! If you have any ideas or want to be a part of this event, please let me know. I will also be needing candy corn, black jelly beans, candy pumpkins and miniture marshmallows for our Math Halloween stories. If you can donate any of these treats, please send them in with your child.
