I hope you and your child had a fun and safe Halloween! Please make sure they keep his/her candy at home.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are noon dismissal days due to Parent Teacher Conferences. Please call the office if you need to switch your conference time. I am looking forward to sharing all the great things your child has accomplished so far!
Report cards go home on Tuesday. Please remember report cards are not like they used to be. They are now a standards based progress report. This means we look at the full year expectations and report where your child is currently. However, in the reading categories we look at the current quarter's reading level expectations and report based on those reading levels. There will be many 1s and 2s on your child's report card. This is perfectly normal. A 3 is our goal for the end of the year. A 1 does not necessarily mean your child is not where her or she should be academically. It could also mean that we have not taught all parts of the standard. We will go over your child's report card during conferences and visit more on how your child was assessed. Be proud of your child's accomplishments!
A quick peek at our week...
We will be wrapping up unit 1 in reading groups this week.
Our reading comprehension focus is identifying the beginning, middle, and end of a story.
In writing, we will be working to stay on topic, writing a good beginning and ending, and writing different sentence beginnings.
We will be starting subtraction in math. We will learn many different strategies such as, using a number line to count back, using doubles, and draw a picture.
We will practice more high frequency words during spelling this week, but we will not be having a spelling test. With the noon dismissal days we will not be getting to spelling each day and do not have time on Friday for a test. The words we will be practicing this week are still listed if you would like to help your child practice at home.
Week of the 2nd-High Frequency Words Round 2!

They are with his dad.
We might have snow! Make sure and label all snow gear- hats, mittens, boots, snow pants, coats, etc. It is amazing how many kids shop at the same place. Also, kids are not allowed to go off the blacktop unless they have their snow gear. In the mean time, I will be wishing for sun and warm weather.
Have a great week!
