Thank you so much for coming to parent/teacher conferences! It was truly nice chatting with you!!!
Parent Information:
Goals due Friday, October 29th (as of today, Friday, I received 7 goals)
Book in a week is now in a folder. If you turned in your book in a week, it came back to you in a folder with a game and reading strategies. Return on Fridays please.
Don't forget sight word testing every Friday. If your child can read all of the words, try some of the enrichment activities located on the back of the book.
We will begin to study coins in a couple of weeks. The students will need to identify a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter. They will also need to count like groups of coins (penny, nickel, and dime). This weekend, get out their piggy banks and do some coin exploration. I have found students have such a hard time distinguishing between the nickel and the quarter! Happy coin hunting :)
If you think of it, could you please send in some yummy chocolate for our chocolate basket. Here are some ideas: chocolate teddy grahams, coco puffs, chocolate pop tarts, candy, chocolate animal crackers, hot chocolate mix...so many choices :)
The Library Media Specialist at the high school (also a Mom of one of our students in our class) has started wonderful program with her sister called Lobes of Love. Lobes of Love is an organization to encourage breast cancer awareness, raise the spirits of breast cancer patients and to give them a symbol to represent a hope for a cure during pink awareness month. They will be collecting nice, fun earrings. They do not have to be expensive just something to make women feel beautiful and confident. We will be collecting earrings through the month of October. All earrings will be taken to an oncologist and breast cancer surgeon to distribute to their patients. Please feel free to have your child bring in some cute earrings and I will make sure they get to the Library Media Specialist. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
