The big news of this upcoming week is our first field trip. We will be leaving for the Alabama Nature Center on Tuesday morning, shortly after the beginning of school. We are so excited to spend most of the day in an outdoor classroom. Field trip t-shirts will go home on Monday. I will place your child's t-shirt in the book bag. The t-shirt is a safety measure for me to keep track of Room 115 when we are away from school. Please make sure you dress your child in the t-shirt. Jeans / jean shorts may be worn. We will be walking a lot so make sure your child is wearing the appropriate shoes. Be sure to send a sack lunch on Tuesday if you so indicated. (No lunch boxes - just throw away sacks please!) We will return to the school by 1:30 pm.
This week we will be investigating the letter Mm as in monkey on a mountain. The word wall words are: five, go, so, no. We will celebrate the letter Mm by having a Mickey/Minnie Mouse day on Friday. On Friday, have your child bring one item from home that has Mickey or Minnie featured on it. No item: no worries...google Mickey Mouse and download a color page. Please do not go out and purchase an item for this day. All items will come home on Friday.
Our library day is Monday so make sure library books are placed in back packs so that we can check out a new book.
In Monday's white binder, you will notice a Read Well Assessment form found inside a plastic sleeve. This sheet is a way for you to keep track of the units your child passed, any comments from me and troubleshooting areas for you to work on at home. Your only responsibility is to read it; there is nothing for you to sign.
Nancy's Italian Ice will be coming to the school EVERY Monday. Please send $1.00 if your child would like a sweet treat from Nancy's. The flavors for this week will be Cool Blue and Birthday Cake.
With the help of last week's poem, we worked hard on learning our phone numbers. I will check for knowledge of phone numbers on Wednesday, October 12. Look in book bags for this week's poem on Friday.
Please join the PTA. The children will be so excited to display a 100% membership sign for our class. PTA dues are $10 per membership. Check out the PTA's link on the right side of the page for more information. The Just Give campaign has been extended until November 1.
Preorder your wristband tickets for the Blount Fall Festival. Early bird prices on the wristbands are on sale until October 13. Also Fall Festival t-shirts can be pre-ordered until October 1. The fall festival t-shirts can be worn on Fridays as spirit wear. The date of the Fall Festival is October 20.
A book order will be sent home on Wednesday. Money and order forms are due on Tuesday, October 4. If you want to order on-line, use the Scholastic link found on the right side of the page. Our class code number is GL88R. Book orders are voluntary.
