November 1 - 5

Another new month. Watch out! Christmas will be here before you know it!!
*Halloween Party - Special thanks to our room mom, Leslie Heggie, for helping to make the pizzas. Also thanks to Cathy Runquist, Maria Wert, Darla Harker and Leslie Heggie for cooking the pizzas. What would we do without moms!!
*The Halloween pictures looked adorable. Sorry I wasn't able to be at school to celebrate Halloween with the kids. I hope they had a fun time.
*Remembrance Day Program - Wednesday, November 10 @10:00 a.m. - Grade 1's are singing 2 songs.
*Character Education for November - Empathy.
*School T-Shirt orders - Due November 3.
*Spelling - I didn't get to look at the Spelling Test on Thursday. I'm sure every one did awesome. Remember, your child won't always get every word right all the time, but they are trying to do their best all the time.
*Reading - I am so excited about the progress that we have made in our class. Keep up the good work!
*Scholastic Book Order for November - I will send an order on November 5, 10, 19, 26. If you want to order for Christmas, I can let you know when the order arrives.
*Weather - We have been so lucky so far with good weather. One day when it was so cold, I was impressed with the hats, mitts, and even boots that your child wore. Thanks so much for helping your child dress appropriately for the weather.
*Our class is getting better at doing up their zipper on their coat. Shoe laces still need work. Practice, practice, practice!
*Parent-Teacher Interviews - November 15 Report Cards go home. Parent-Teacher Interviews are on Wednesday, November 17. I am looking forward to meeting with every one.
*Library - I know some of the library books that your child brings home are too hard for them to read. It is hard to find library books at a beginning level for Grade 1 students. That is why it is important to practice reading the stories that we are reading at school. They have words that Grade 1 students can sound out, along with the sight words that we are learning to read also.
*Remember to complete worksheets and send them back when your child returns after they have been absent.
We are ready for another great month! "Enjoy Your Crew"!!
