Pick Ups

If your child is a pick up after school we will walk them to the fence by the teacher’s parked cars. There is oncoming traffic that travels right by the doors they are coming out so it would not be safe for them to walk or run to you if you're standing in the middle of the blacktop area.. I will direct the class to walk on the path of bear paws. 




Supplies

Thank you to everyone who has contributed tissues and other items.  If your Firstie does not have headphones or earbuds please get those in at your earliest convenience.  Kids tend to be a bit picky about these so I find it’s best if families work on finding out what suits each child. If this presents a problem for you please let me know. 


Academic Update

This week we will be reviewing a number of topics such as:

  • Short vowel sounds

  • Number naming

  • Tally marks

  • Shape names

We will also begin our Spinning Sky unit in Science as well as exploring the question, “how is school like a family.” We have already learned class procedures for our first Daily 5 choice which is “Read to Self.”  Students will be working on building their stamina over the coming weeks. 


Snack

Reminder: we have two snacks each day.  Please plan accordingly.


NWEA

Students will be completing the NWEA test for Reading and Math this week. 


Parent-Teacher Conferences

Please stay tuned for news about how/when we will be conducting conferences this October.
