Daily 5
This week we
introduced Work on Writing as well as Word Work. We incorporated both of these
daily five choices into our daily routine. Each of our daily five choices will
help us be more independent and gain reading and writing skills! Ask your child
what their favorite thing to do during Daily 5 is!
Spelling Lists
Thank you, parents and family, for
reading spelling words to your child. This will become a weekly routine.
Spelling helps us investigate letters, words, and sounds. Practicing spelling helps
us to be better readers and writers!!
This week’s spelling list focuses on
the
short /i/ sound.

Cadet Pride
Rewards!!
Every time our
class earns 5 Cadet Pride (good reward) tickets, we get to add a body part to
our “Mr. Potato Head.” On Thursday, we got to choose a reward because we filled
up our potato! Her name was “Mrs. Potato Claus.” Jade chose that our reward
would be “No shoes Friday!” The students who chose to participate got to leave
their shoes in their locker while we were in the classroom on Friday!
Classroom
Celebrations Money
Please remember
to send $5.00 to go toward seasonal parties and classroom celebrations if you
have not already! This money will go toward purchasing special snacks, and
materials for special activities throughout the school year. Thank you!
Happy Fall!
The weather is changing almost
daily! Please remember to dress your child accordingly. Most students go
outside for a few minutes from 8:00-8:10. I suggest always wearing a sweatshirt
or light jacket when the mornings are between 50-60 degrees.
Homecoming Week is next week! Students may choose
to “dress up:”
Monday: Favorite Sports Team Day
Tuesday: Camouflage Day
Wednesday: First Grade wears purple
(every grade wears a different color)
Thursday: Mix & Match -- dress in clothes that do
not match!
