Week 2 - August 22-25




     We had a great first week of school.  I really enjoyed getting to know the first graders. Last week we worked on our rules and classroom procedures. We also started building stamina in reading to self -- First graders were able to hold reading stamina for 4 minutes. We also started our friend journals. We asked questions and wrote about 4 of our first grade friends.

   This week we will be learning about more of our friends and writing sentences about them. We will also be looking at our TRIBES agreements in more depth. We will be reading stories to show why attentive listening is so important. We will also be learning about mutual respect with is the golden rule!  

   I want to thank everyone who made it to back to school night.  It was great getting to see everyone. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. 

REMINDERS
Dollar for Socks -- If your child would like to wear different colored socks or tights with their uniform they can pay a dollar each quarter.  They will be allowed to wear socks of their choice for the quarter.  This is a fundraiser for student council.

Pizza Day Thursday - If your child would like to eat pizza on Thursday you may purchase a quarter long pizza card, by going to the Oasis Website,  or you may still get the daily pizza coupon -- The daily coupons may only be bought in books of 15.  


Math Homework -- We will keep you updated weekly about your child's math homework on this blog.  If your child brings a worksheet, please make sure it has your child's name on the top.
