WEEK OF 10/30/17

by

First Grade Families,

I cannot believe how quickly the beginning of the year is going…we are practically to November and conferences already! I am so excited to touch base with each of you and share with you all of the great things your child is doing and has accomplished so far in first grade. We have been staying busy! Take a peek below to stay in the loop this next week:

Important Reminders/Dates: 

  • Change wars are almost done! Thank you for donating your loose change–your child still has until Tuesday, November 1st to bring in more change!
  • Our Halloween Party will be from 12-1 on Tuesday, October 31st. We have a few parents working hard to plan a fun party for us; however, all are encouraged to join us for the fun! *Please make sure you have your background check completed if you want to attend.* DO NOT send your child to school in their costume–they will have time to change after lunch so send their costume in the backpack or another bag. A Halloween Parade will follow from 2-2:30 (weather permitting).
  • Please send in your child’s conference confirmation slip if you have not already done so. I am still missing a few, and this helps me know that you will be attending your child’s conference at the correct time and date!
  • In addition to change wars I have set up a “Donor’s Choose” page to help raise money for more classroom books. We are in need of more levels books in our classroom. If you would like to donate, please know that any and all donations help (do not feel pressure especially since so many of you have graciously donated to our Walk-a-Thon and change wars). All of the money will all be put towards books for your child to read at school to help them reach grade level benchmarks. https://www.donorschoose.org/Reisdorff
  • Our next Early Release Day is Friday, November 3rd.

Reading: We will be looking at words in our books that have digraphs (ch, th, sh), blends (bl, br, gr), and word endings (s, ed, ing).

Writing: We will work on crossing out unfocused writing, writing multiple sentences on a page, and review adding details.

Math: We will begin unit 3 which focuses on finding the unknown partner (ex: 3 + _ = 7).

Spelling: No new words next week 🙂

Enjoy the weekend,

Miss Reisdorff
