It's almost Halloween

It was great to see all the parents at conferences yesterday!

This is the week of Halloween and we will be doing lots of fun activities! We will also have a Fall Party on Friday at 1:20. You are welcome to attend, and any treats you could send would be appreciated! Remember, school rules say no homemade treats. 

Here are our spelling words and sight words for the week. Please put first things and complete all math and spelling homework this week so each child can make it to sharpen the saw on Friday!

We will also say goodbye to Mrs. Kristen, our WKU student that has been learning with us this quarter. She has been a great resource for our class and is sure to make a great teacher someday soon!!!

It's Fall Y'all!!!

Good Morning!!! 

Lots to do this week! We're (the kids... Yes, the kids) are busy preparing our data to share with parents during conferences taking place next Monday. 

We are also gearing up for Fall Festival which is THIS Thursday from 5:30-7:30. Please send in any boxed or canned food  for our First Grade grocery cart by Wefnesday. Stop by and enter to win it the night of Fall Festival!!!

This week we are covering our 7th habit of happy kids, sharpen the saw. Sharpen the saw means balancing life with work and play and doing things to sharpen your mind, body, and spirit. With this, we will have our first Sharpen the saw Friday as First Grade this week. Students who've completed all homework and class assignments will choose from 3 different activities like physical play, cosmic reading etc. Those students who are missing work will go to first things first to finish incomplete work or homework. 

Here are this weeks spelling and sight words! Study each night!

Found these little gyms in my photo album. Before Fall Break Mrs. Ford and Mrs Hahn were nice enough to meet us to share their presentations they created on glogster about immigration and we were able to share our living and no living posters! 

Ahhhhhh....Fall Break!!!!

I hope everyone is having a great Fall Break! We've had a fantastic visit to New Jersey visiting family. We even got to sink our toes in the Atlantic Ocean for a bit!
