Welcome to our first full week of
First Grade! A lot of important things are happening this week.
Each First Grader was given their
personal dry erase board today that will be used throughout the year. Our dry
erase boards will be used often for a quick formative assessment during various
lessons; especially Math. I’m not sure about your house, but at my house we
ALWAYS lose socks and end up with mismatched pairs. An old sock is a GREAT
eraser for our white boards. If you don’t mind losing a sock, please send one
to school with your child to have their own eraser.
Our Take Home Folders are starting
to fill up quickly with the various Back to School papers and forms. Please be
sure to check your child’s folder every night and return it every morning. If
you need to send anything to school, this is the folder it should be put in.
The Entertainment Book Sales started
today. Your child was given the Entertainment Book and an order form which is
in their backpack. If you choose to buy or sell any Entertainment Books please
return the form and money by Friday September 14. Order forms and money can be
sent to school any time between now and then. The top selling student will win
a Kindle Touch and the 2nd top selling student will win a $25 Orange
Leaf gift card. The top selling class will win a pizza party. However, you are
not required to buy or sell any Entertainment Books.
We are practicing being Bucket
Fillers in Room 11! A Bucket Filler is someone who is kind, respectful, and happy.
A Bucket Dipper is someone who is mean, disrespectful, and sad. Today we read
the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today? and brainstormed a list of
Bucket Filler and Bucket Dipper actions. Ask your child about being a Bucket
Filler! Check out the Bucket Filler website to learn more - http://www.bucketfillers101.com/index.php
