Week of October 22nd

Welcome back from Fall Break! I am hoping you all had a wonderful break! I was so excited to see all of my cuties again today! We all shared what we did over Fall Break and it sounds like everyone had a great time!

Sight Words:
We have no new sight words this week. We are spending time reviewing the words that we learned before fall break. Please help your student practice reading these words at home.

Math:
This week we are continuing to work work on counting and cardinality. We are really working on being able to write our numbers from memory to at least 30. We are focusing on the patterns of numbers and how they can use those patterns to help them figure out what comes next.

Parent/Teacher Conferences:
This Wednesday the 24th is the end of  Quarter 1. We will begin doing our quarterly assessments the end of this week and beginning of next week. We will use this data for report cards. Next Friday, November 2nd there is NO SCHOOL because we will be doing Parent/Teacher Conferences. I will contact you by email and request a one on one conference if I have concerns, or invite you to a drop in student led conference if your student is doing well.

Career Week:
This week is career week at school and we will be talking about college and what we want to be when we grow up. The following is from Mrs. Dowski:
"For K-5th grade students, we will have a "Dress as Your Favorite Career" Day. We will have prizes for class participation (1 winning room) based upon number of students dressed up and several individual prizes for "Best Dressed"..."

Book Order:
I will be submitting our book order at the end of the school day tomorrow if you would like to order books. This is a great way to get Christmas and birthday gifts covered. If you want the books you order to be gifts, please send me an email and I will tuck them away until I can get them to you without your student knowing :).
