Mystery Reader

We had our first Mystery Reader: Miss Richardson!
She came back on Thursday to be a Mystery Reader to the class. Miss Richardson is now with a second grade class and learning about second grade for a few weeks. The students really enjoyed having a Mystery Reader. If you are interested in coming in to read to the class, please email me. We would love to schedule a time for you to come in and read!!

Reminders:

•  Don't forget that Picture Day is tomorrow. You may send a change of clothing for your child to change into after the pictures are taken. We say "cheese" at 9:40am tomorrow.

Hi Families,

        Today your child will bring home their first Spelling list. With this program, each child will choose 5 words from a list generated by the teacher and students based on a spelling principle or theme.  The other 5 words will be taken from the sight word lists in the back of their planner. The students were tested over the words and the words highlighted are the words they already know how to write correctly. Please do not highlight in their palnner, your child will highlight the sight words as they get them correct on the written spelling test.  

The students will make two lists – one to keep at school and one on the homework packet.  Please remember that the spelling list is on the front of the homework packet. They will have a weekly spelling test on Fridays. 

 

This week's spelling principle: add a letter to a little word

example little word: and

                s + and    sand

                b+ and    band

                l+ and     land

Thanks- Mrs. Boyd

Updates

I hope everyone enjoyed the 3 day weekend. The students did a great job coming back to school and remembering the routines we have set in place since the first week of school.
They started Daily 5 on Friday. They are doing a good job remembering that their voices need to be  "off" unless they are reading quietly. Today there was a "buzz" in the room as they were all reading or writing. I am very proud of them!

Here are a few reminders:

•  Snack- peanut free, quick simple snack to hold them over until they get home
• Birthday treats- store bought, no nuts
• Office Forms- please turn in all of your office paperwork that you received over the summer.
• Library is on Mondays (unless we are off on Monday we will switch it for that week)
• Counseling is on Tuesdays every 3rd week.
• Please take a look at the Scholastic order forms (due date is September 14th)

We used the clickers for the first time today. During math we talked about addition number stories. We used a flipchart with number story pictures and they used the clicker to give the answer (the sum). Ask your child about the clickers! Here are a few photos:
