Newsletter October 31 - November 4

This newsletter post will be short and sweet today.

Here is some information from our class for this week:

  • The October Reading calendar is now due.  A treat and certificate will be given to those that turn it in by this Friday.  The November calendar was sent home today.  I got one calendar without a name or signature on it.  Nearly every day was filled in with 10 minutes some spots with colored pencil.  If you think that belongs to you child send me an e-mail and I will return it for a signature.  Thanks. 
  • We will have a test on Chapter 4 in math this Friday.  Today we learned about "using a ten or make a ten" to subtract.  
  • I sent home information today about a contest sponsored by Cedar City.  If you child wants to participate please send back the completed form and essay by November 4 (Friday).  
  • In reading we are moving onto unit 3.  We have learned about the "silent e" rule for all vowels (except e itself) and now will move onto vowel digraphs (/oo/ as in soon and /oo/ as in book, /ou/ as in shout, /oi/ like oil, and /aw/ as in saw).  We are continuing our versions of well-known folktales. Today we read Thumbelina and tomorrow we will read Issun Boshi (The One Inch Boy).  
Halloween was great.  It was fun to have a parade and be get excited about the day as you only can through a first graders eyes.  I hope that you enjoyed the apple head witches that came home yesterday :)  

Happy Reading!
