Here's an example of a well-done saint report.

(It does not HAVE to be both sides.)

Please Note

Happy October! The kids are settling in and have been doing a great job. I cannot believe we are finished with September already. October will certainly fly by as well. Here are your reminders for this week:

- Information about the first grade Saints Presentation was sent home last week. Each child may choose any saint they want. The report will be due next Wednesday 10/11, so please work on it this week. Please make sure the report and the picture are done neatly. Don't forget to have your child practice reading their report because they will be sharing it with the class for a grade. The Saints Presentation will be on Friday, October 27th at 9:00 am in the Church. 

- If you haven't signed the permission form or paid for the field trip on Thursday, October 26th please do so this week. The permission form can be found HERE.  If you would like to be in the drawing for a chaperone, last call to let me know. (If you already sent an email, I have your name already in the hat.)  Please note that no siblings are permitted.  I will let you know who the chaperones will be by the end of this week. 

- We will have a math quiz tomorrow on number sense and addition. A review will be sent home tonight for homework.

- We've decided with the new reading series and the weekly testing that we will take the Religion tests together in school. Hopefully, this will allow more time to focus on reading and math at home. We will take the Chapter 2 quiz together on Thursday.

- There will be a spelling, sight word, and reading quiz on Friday. Please study spelling and sight words each night.

- You will find all of your child's app logins on the inside cover of their Homework Copybook. We have used all the apps in school, with the exception of XTra Math, so they should be familiar if you want to use them at home. I highly suggest using Xtramath a few nights each week to reinforce math facts once we get that app introduced later this week.

- We will have an author visit on Friday afternoon. If you are interested in ordering the book please use this link:  https://childrensbookworld.net/moyle-oct-5-at-st-katharine/

- Looking ahead, we have off on Monday, 10/9 and winter uniforms will start on Tuesday, 10/10.

-That is all for this week, please let me know if you have questions about anything!  Thanks, Melissa

-The children are loving Mystery Reader.  Here is the link if you have not signed up yet.  If you can not find a time that works for you, please let me know and we can find a time.

- I hope you had a great weekend! I can't believe we are in the last week of September already. We will continue working on our routines, but the kids are really settling in and doing a great job! We have a pretty calm week but there are a lot of reminders.

- We started our first unit in reading today on "How Plants and Animals Change". We will start making our flashcards for sight words this week. They will go home in your child's 'pet bag' and will come home each night. Please make sure they return to school. The sight words and spelling words for the week can also be found in your child's "R Copybook" and at the bottom of the blog.  (They will need to know how to spell the spelling words, but only to read the sight words.)

- Please review all spelling words and sight words each night to prepare for the test on Friday. There will also be a short reading quiz that we will prepare for in school.

- Please check your child's homework for neat handwriting (especially letter and number reversals) and completeness. We've been working on writing neatly and in lowercase letters in school, and it would be helpful if you could continue to reinforce this at home.  Please have them use pencil only, unless the directions call for coloring.  Thank you for your help with this.

- A paper explaining the Saints Celebration will be sent home tomorrow. Please read it carefully and mark down the dates. The report will be due on Wednesday, October 11th and the celebration will be on Friday, October 27th. If you have any questions please let me know.

- We have our first field trip planned to Saunders Woods on Thursday, October 26th! You can fill out the permission form for your child HERE. The payment info will be available tomorrow. We need 4 chaperones for our class. If you have your clearances and are interested, please email me back and I will pick from a hat next week.

Week of September 11, 2023

Welcome to our Classroom Blog! We are so excited to start our first full week of first grade, and are looking forward to a great year. Thanks to all of you who came to Back to School Night. You can find the BTSN information here.  It was great to meet everyone. We have a lot of fun things planned so keep checking our classroom blog for updates and pictures of what is going on in Room 3.

Please Note

- The first few weeks of school are very important for setting expectations and learning our classroom routines and procedures. Students thrive in environments where they feel comfortable and know what is expected of them. I encourage you to also have expectations and routines at home as well. For example, each day after school your child can eat a snack, empty their home folder, complete their homework and practice their sight words and spelling words for the week. Simple chores like packing their school bags, helping pack lunches/snack, and making their beds will help your child to become responsible, organized, and independent.

- Please be sure to check your child's "Home Folder" with them every night. They can empty out any papers that were completed in school.  If anything needs to be sent to school, please place it in the folder.

- We will start off slow with homework the first few weeks so the kids can get back into the swing of it! 

- On Friday, we will be having our One Book, One School Book Club. Students are asked to wear their t-shirt that will be sent home today with their gym shorts. We will be talking about "Boxitects" and completing a fun activity with our 8th grade Buddies.

- There will be a dress-down day on Monday, 9/18. Please send in $1.00 to dress down.  ***Our class will also have gym that day due to a conflict in Mrs. Marchese's schedule, so please have the children wear sneakers with their dress-down clothes.  (They can still wear their gym uniforms on Friday.)

- The Mystery Reader sign-up genius is up! You can find it here. If you have any questions please let me know!

- Please email me with any questions or concerns :)

Thanks!
