Parent/Teacher Conferences/Book Fair/Early Release

There will be Parent/ Teacher Conferences on
 Monday, February 10th, 2014  
 and 
Wednesday, February 12th, 2014

You have scheduled an appointment time with me. Please be sure to be on time as it is hard to catch up when we run late. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you for some reason can not make the appointment time you have scheduled with me, please call or email me as soon as possible to reschedule a time. Time slots are very limited due to the amount of students I need to see. Your student is welcome to come with and I actually encourage this so they are involved and taking control of their learning on their own. :)

There will be a Book Fair
Monday, February 10th through Friday, February 14th 
Ms. Kelsey's class is schedule to go on Tuesday, February 11th @ 9:30-10:00.
If you do not get a chance to visit the book fair during conferences we will be going as a class at the above time. Please send your child with any money s/he would like to spend on the items available. Please be sure that your student has it with them at the beginning of the day, as I will not let them call to get the money in order to avoid congestion and a burden on your schedule.
:) 

There will be an Early Release on February 12th, 2014 at 12:40 in lieu of P/T Conferences and of a Staff Development Day. 
 Please make sure you have scheduled plans for our student for the afternoon. If there are changes in the after school plans please get those to Mrs. Gay in the front office as soon as you can. It is important that she knows where to send your student. It is also important that your student KNOWS where s/he is going as well.

Week in Review

Hello! Wow! What a week it has been. We have learned a lot and also perfected a lot of our routines! The kiddos have done a great job! We have learned all kinds of letters in our phonics lessons including n, o and t! We have learned about reading to someone and reading to self for our Daily 5 and also have learned about our expectations for 1st grade writing and 1st grade pictures for Writer's Workshop. In math we have learned about 5 groups and how to make numbers greater than 5 by making a 5 group and some more ones! We have also read lots of books about the alphabet and are becoming rock stars with our letters! I am so proud! We are doing FABULOUS in first grade! BUT... there are a few minor things we need to work on... 1. bathroom--our behavior in the bathroom hasn't been the  greatest! We need to remember to use 1 pump of soap, 1 paper towel and that we go in, go to the bathroom and get out! 2. We also need to work on blurting out. We have RULE #2: Raise your h...

Halloween Party Letter/Google Doc

Our Halloween party will be on Friday, October 30th from 12:30-2:15.   We have volunteers coming down from the high school to help facilitate all of the fun.  Mrs. Marienfeld's class will be joining our class for the fun.   As a part of the fun and and in hopes of keeping the massive amount of sugar down a little bit, we are making a classroom trail mix.   I am sending home a letter tomorrow about it. If you did not get the letter from your student you may click here to view it.   For the first time ever (thank you Mrs. Marienfeld for the idea), I am attempting to use Google Drive to help the sign up process. I have shared this sign up through Google Drive with parents who's emails I already have. If you did not get the email, please click here and you can also view it and sign up if you wish. Thank you so much!  Let me know what you think of using email/Google Drive to communicate and sign up for these types of things.

Sorry! :(

HELLO! I am so sorry that I have kind of forgotten about updating my blog because of Christmas Break and all of the snow days/cold days we have had! END OF 2ND QUARTER/1ST SEMESTER We are coming to the close of the 2nd Quarter which also marks the end of the 1st Semester of 4th grade. I cannot believe it at all!!! MATH We have started our new math unit. Unit #4 is going to be a combination of comparison word problems, algebra and a few other new ideas dealing with mathematics. It is still VERY IMPORTANT that your student be practicing their flash cards for both division and multiplication. I have to be honest when I say they will not do well in this unit if they do not know their facts. So keep up the good work with practicing!!! ENGLISH AND LANGUAGE ARTS (ELA) We have also started a new novel, Mouse and the Motorcycle. This new novel marks the beginning of our 3rd ELA Unit titled "Animals are Characters, Too!" We will be exploring animal characteristics, perso...
