As the year is winding down, I am sure you are all gearing up for summer plans. The weather is definitely wanting summer to be here too! :-) Just a reminder, we do not have air conditioning in our school, so this 91 degree weather will be a little hard to concentrate in, but we will manage. Please be sure your child continues to dress for the weather - they are welcome to bring a water bottle to leave at school for the week too. Thank you!

This week we will be doing a lot of review as I begin to assess the students for their final report card.

I will also begin introducing subtraction in math so they are exposed to it and understand the beginning of subtraction for first grade.

Book Bags: Last Friday, your child brought home a "Book Bag" or bag of books! Parents, please note that there is a letter for you to read inside the "Book Bag" that explains what these books are to be used for. A couple of key pieces of information for you to be aware of:
1. The "Book Bags" should stay in the child's backpack so they can use them at home and at school.
2. Each book within the bag should be read 5 times daily, this will help build your child's fluency.
3. Please record the date, the book, how long you read and parent signature on the "Book Log" which is the golden sheet of paper in your child's "Book Bag"

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you! Happy Reading!

Happy Birthday to Eric L.!!! (Nov. 20th)

The coming week will be busy as we focus on reviewing letters and letter sounds in language arts along with learning a new sight word and blending letter sounds to make words!
In math, we will continue to concentrate on writing the numbers 0-10 correctly. If you are working on these at home, here are the rhymes we have been using to help us remember and the students love saying them!
0 - Round and round just like an "o," now you've make the number zero!
1 - Start at the top and down you run. That's the way you make a one.
2 - Make a candy cane and give it a shoe. That's the way you make a two.
3 - Around a tree, around a tree. That's the way you make a three.
4 - Down and across and slice through the door. That is how you make a four.
5 - Short neck, belly fat. Mr. Five wears a hat.
6 - Make a "C" then in you go. Now you've made a six you know.
7 - Across the sky and down from heaven. That's the way you make a seven.
8 - Make an "S" and then don't wait. Go back up and make an eight.
9 - Make a circle, then add a line. That's the way you make a nine.

I look forward to meeting with everyone for conferences this week. Please be sure to check your child's backpack on Tuesday evening - I will be sending their report cards home, so you can be sure to see them and bring any questions you have to our conference.
If you need a reminder on your conference day and time, please feel free to call or e-mail me.
