Mrs. Scott's First Grade Blog: Happy Halloween!

What an awesome Halloween Party today! I feel so fortunate to have the wonderful parent (and grandparent) support. The party was so organized and ran so smoothly! The kids were all very respectful and were good sports! Thank you all for taking time out of the day to make your child's day special! No worries if you couldn't make it, there are pictures below!

Have an awesome evening trick-or-treating!

Book-it calendars are due on Thursday, Nov. 3! Please remember to have your child and yourself sign it so I know who's it is! I will pass out November calendars tomorrow. Please put these somewhere very visible to help you and your student remember to fill them out at least 20 days. The fridge worked best for me, so it didn't get lost in papers. :)

Math Review Packets are due tomorrow! Please make sure to read all the directions at the bottom.

Our Field Trip to Kaleidoscope is this Friday! We will leave around 9:15 on the bus and arrive by 11:30. Please make sure your child eats a good and lasting breakfast so the bus ride does not make them car sick. The weather looks nice so a sweatshirt or jacket would be fine.

Peace Week!
Tomorrow is Pajama and slippers day!
Pink day is Wednesday along with Red day for Peace week. Either is fine!
Thursday is crazy sock day.
Friday is Jeans day. Have your child wear CCE spirit wear if they have it!

Reading this week!
This week we are reading a book called, Leaf Trouble. We are going to review it a few days and use our 5 finger retell. Your child will be tested on comprehension questions to make sure they are understanding what to look for when retelling what happens in a story.

We need leaves! We need leaves! We are going to read a book about different kinds of trees and leaves. Then, we are going to learn how to do leaf rubbing! So, if anyone would like to send in different kinds of leaves from your yard on Wednesday and Thursday, we could see if some of them are in our book we read and then do the leaf rubbing!

Sight words: I, at, love
Color of the week: Pink

Math this week!
Ordering numbers on a number line and reviewing fewer and more. Our Topic 4 math test will be Monday or Tuesday! The car is a great place to give your child a number and ask them to tell you 1-2 more, or 1-2 fewer. You can start with numbers less than 10 and go higher if they are getting it!
