| Thanks you, Mrs. Irish for coming in last week! It was like a an early Halloween with her treats she brought in! |
Dear Parents,
I hope you enjoyed the beautiful weekend! There are a lot of reminders this week and here they are!
- We will have a spelling and reading test on Friday.
- Test folders will be sent home tomorrow.
Please sign and return all tests on Wednesday (tests do not stay at home).
- A Sign-Up Genius for conferences will be sent out to you this week. Conferences will be on Thursday, November 3rd and Friday, November 4th.
- Wednesday, October 19th is Grandparents/Special Friends Day. Grandparents or special friends are invited to join us in the cafeteria at 9:30am to enjoy some light refreshments and to make a small craft. After that we will head to the library to shop for books. It would be helpful if you send money in a labeled envelope. If you know which books they would like to buy, you may also write the titles on the envelope. Thanks for your help!
- Don't forget to mark your calendars for the First Grade Saints Celebration which will be on Friday, October 28th at 9:00am. We will read our reports this week to learn about everyone's saint. Please start getting a simple costume together for the celebration.
- We will be going to Highland Orchards for our first field trip on Friday, November 11th! Permission forms and information were sent home last week. Please return the form and the money (cash/check) by Friday, October 21st. If you have ALL of your clearances and would like to chaperone please email me or send me a note. I will pick chaperones out of a hat this week.
-Thursday, October 20th will be a Dress Down Day. Please send in $1.00 to dress down.
- Friday, October 21st is "Walk With the Principal" to raise awareness for JDRF. Students are to wear their gym uniforms to school. If your child has a JDRF t-shirt they may wear that in place of their gym shirt. Please note that the winter uniform for gym includes sweatpants. Students must wear sweatpants to school every Friday. They can wear shorts underneath and wear them in gym class if they want, but sweatpants must be worn for the rest of the day. Thanks for your cooperation.
- Please check your child's school supplies! Many of them need pencils and some other art supplies.
Have a great week!

This week we will continue our unit on addition. We will learn that adding is putting two parts together to make a whole. We will also learn the terms "addend" and "sum". We will practice writing addition sentences (2 + 3 = 5) and drawing pictures to illustrate addition sentences. We will also start using ten frames.
