Welcome to another full week!
We have noon dismissal on Thursday, September 22.
Saturday Live is this Saturday. Thank you to those who donated candy for our booth. PTA is still looking for volunteers to help with the Candy Shack. You can sign up to volunteer on the PTA blog, http://bitterrootpta.weebly.com/.
The PTA coupon book fundraiser has ended. If you have not returned your child's envelope please do so ASAP.
First graders will have a hearing screening on Monday.
Mrs. Neese, the school counselor, will be teaching us about whole body listening on Wednesday.
This week is super exciting...we start reading groups! I love teaching reading groups! We will be working on visualizing as we read and decoding short a words. I will also be setting reading goals with the students this week. Send me an email if you are interested in helping your child with their reading goal at home and I will let you know what their goal is and give you some ideas on how to help them.
The spelling rule for the week and the spelling words can be found on the right hand side of the blog. However, we will not be having weekly spelling tests. I find it is more important for the students to be familiar with the spelling rule rather than be able to memorize a list of words. I will have Spelling City loaded up soon, which is a fun practice site. Also, be sure to have your kiddo practice the high-frequency words.
We are continuing to work on addition strategies in math. This week we will learn how to use the greater number to count on. We will also use the number line to add.
Have a wonderful week!
