Weekly Update
We had popcorn delivered to our room by the PTA Popcorn Lady! We won for the 1st grade team. Yeah for us and thanks for all the snipping done withthe Box Tops for October!!
DID WE TELL YOU, Mom & Dad? Our class was the top BOX TOP collector for 1st grade for the month of October! We were all so excited that Mrs. Petty did a cheer for us! Keep on collecting and send them in at the end of each month. Yeah-we REALLY want a popcorn party!!! Pop, Pop, POP!
Don't forget to bring your completed, published ABC books into school this week! I'm so excited to hear you 'read' them to the class!
Well done, parents! We completed our conferences and will report 100% participation. I hope the information we shared with each other on your child's progress and 'next steps' is helpful in attaining the educational benchmarks in the near future and throughout the rest of the year. Specifically speaking, we're looking at 'stepping up' fluency and text level, becoming fluent with problem solving, addition/subtraction facts with developing mental computation, and improving our written compositions through better sentence construction, with appropriate spelling, handwriting, and overall quality of writing. Thank you for all your continued support.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Please plan to attend the Thanksgiving Sing-Along/Lunch, on Tuesday, 24 November at 10:40 in the gym. Please enter the gym after the P.E. class is dismissed, and enjoy the program. Afterward, we'll move into the AES Cafeteria to enjoy the AAFES Thanksgiving Dinner with the class. Please send in your adult lunch count, with $5.00 for each participating Mom and/or Dad in an envelope marked with your name. Our cafeteria Manager, Mr. Gabe, guarantees a delicious dining experience for us on that day. Send in on or before this Wednesday, 18 November.
Continue to read 'with' and 'to' your child for evening homework. Continue with the MUST DO homework links and help monitor Quiz-taking on RAZ-Kids Reading and IXL Math. Continue to use the links on the right side of the Class Blog, by rolling your cursor over the menu of many activities to use for learning and enjoyment.
Once again, thank you for your efforts and support demonstrated this past quarter. Success for all students to prepare for future learning is what we're all working toward.
Welcome back to a full week of school!
Mrs. Petty
