 Upcoming Dates and Reminders:

  

Math: The kids are doing great at math! Keep up the good work at home! We have a new math packet going home on Monday! This is new to the kids so they may need a little help! We have been doing it at school and they have been doing great so we decided to send it home! Here is a how to video with "double in betweens"

Letter Report: 

I will attach the letter report to our email. Please look it over and let me know if you have any questions. Our next step will be sight words! You will notice if your child can not count to 100 yet they have the number that they got to for us listed! 

Christmas: 

I know this is a little early but I wanted to ask if we have anyone willing to volunteer or donate.

We will be doing our Christmas party and Christmas movie day on December 22nd. This is our last day of school before Christmas break. We are looking for a family to volunteer to host us from 9:00-10:30/11:00am for our movie day. If you are interested please reach out. The kids love this day!! I will be reaching out later about volunteers for our afternoon party! 

We will also be doing stockings the month of December. We would like to put different items in each kids stocking every day the month of December to count down until Christmas! We are looking for any donations to help make this possible.. You can get creative with this, the kids will have a blast with it! Please make sure to provide 26 of the same or similar enough items! If you want to do a girl/boy item we have 9 girls and 17 boys! Some ideas would be socks, crayons, candy, small toy, color books, homemade treat, etc! Please write your name and what you are thinking of donating so we do not have a bunch of the same item!! You can bring these any time from now until after Thanksgiving! Please keep this a surprise for the kids!

Gym Shoes: 

We are about at that time of year where we will need gym shoes brought to school. Please send your child with gym shoes to leave at school. We have a big bin of them and will pull them out so you do not have to remember to take them on gym days. If you would like to take yours back and forth instead of leaving a pair here that is fine too, just let me know! 

Firewood:

Does anyone have extra firewood? We would love to get our stash going for the colder months! If you know of anyone with wood to donate please reach out!! We will be so thankful on cold days! 

November Dates: 

10/13

 Upcoming Dates and Reminders: 

Fall Break: We have our fall break next week! We have a half day Wednesday and no school Thursday and Friday! We will be sending all gear home over break. This is a great time to wash/check if there are any holes! Make sure oakie is washed with water only inside out and hung dry. Some detergents will make them no longer waterproof.

Math: 
Another math packet will be sent home on Monday but will not need to be returned until after break! Thank you for keeping up on this at home! Let me know if you have any questions! 

Letter Report: 

We had so much growth with CVC words! This is going to make strong readers!!! If your child Mastered a skill please still practice once a week so they stay strong! We added counting by 2s,1s,5s, doubles and make a ten to the sheet as well! These are great to practice in the car/while getting ready! (These are all tested verbally, I know some kid scan do them writing but not verbally) Please reach out if you are confused about the letter report and I am more than willing to explain! I attached some how to videos so you can see how we teach them at school!
