Just a reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday, October 19th) is our school picture day. Also...with Halloween coming up, I just wanted to suggest that, if possible, our class dress up as a character from a book. If you have already made plans or purchased a costume, please do not change your plans or buy a new costume. I am always looking for ways to introduce literacy into the classroom and it would be great if your child were to dress up as a character from a book (this includes comic books, which includes super heroes!). If you do choose to dress up as a character from a book, it would be fun if they brought the book, or knew the story and they could share that at our Halloween party. October 31st is Nevada Day and our school will have a Nevada Day Assembly that day at 1:15. Following the assembly, around 2:00, we will have our traditional Halloween parade. We will then come to the classroom to make some "spider webs" and share about our character. You are welcome to join us for the parade and the party!

Hello First Grade Families!
We have started our Pizza Hut Book It program! We have set a goal of 400 minutes of reading time for the month of October in order to receive a coupon for a free personal pizza! You will reach the 400 minute goal if you read 20 minutes each night for 5 nights during the week. Of course I would say to read EVERY night, but I understand how busy life can get! I am sending a second calendar home to record minutes on, just in case the first one came up missing! We are also at the end of the Box Tops Contest. If you have any to send in, please send them before Thursday, October 12th. Our days here in First Grade move by SOOOO quickly! We are busy working on CVC words and Blends. We are working on reaching the reading goal of reading on a level D and knowing at least 60 sight words. In math we are using a ten frame to add and subtract! We are learning to solve word problems. We are working on base ten concepts. Any counting and grouping you do at home would be very useful. We have been working on our Leader in Me goals. This week we learned more about beginning with the end in mind. What an awesome class I have! They are very thoughtful, considerate students! Have a fantastic weekend! Happy Reading! Mrs. Gowans |
