It's a busy and short week this week. Parent-teacher conferences start tomorrow at 4 PM. I will send students home with a reminder bracelet with your conference time tomorrow and Wednesday. Students are welcome to attend, but I know sche- dules are busy so I understand if they cannot make it. School will dismiss at 1:40 on Thursday because of conferences. No school on Friday.
This week we are talking about fall things to start the new season. The class helped me read a book about a scarecrow named Pete. We also practiced writing sent-ences that start with a capital letter and end with a period. It sounded like everyone was excited for Halloween when we wrote a list of things that happen in fall.
The first graders have worked hard this month on addition. This week and next we are working on writing addition sentences and using the bar model to organize information in math. The first graders, of course, love working on centers, but I am enjoying getting to know them while we work in small groups.
Next Tuesday, October 3, is picture day. We will most likely get pictures taken be- fore morning recess. I will post a time once the schedule is handed out. The pho- tography company often sends home a permission form for each child. If you would not like your child's picture taken this fall, please return the form by Tuesday next morning. I will send home the form as soon as it lands in my mailbox.
Have a wonderful week!
