Update November 2nd

 *To sign up for Parent/Teacher conferences, please use the online conference sign-up.  The link for sign-up will be available here http://signup.com/go/UqvJGAv
starting Tuesday, November 6th at 3:30pm until Tuesday, November 13th at 3:30pm.  

*On Tuesday, it will be School Store for first grade.  We suggest that you send in no more than $2 for students to spend at School Store.

*On Wednesday, we will welcome Author and Illustrator, Salina Yoon to our school.  Salina will be visiting from California.  She is the author of such books as "Found," Be A Friend" and the Penguin series books.  We've enjoyed reading her books as a class and getting to know her characters.

*We will continue writing our Non-Fiction books "All About Me."  This week, the students will illustrate a picture of their home and find the Robinson School on a map.

*This week in Spelling, we will focus on words that end with e.  We call these words King Ed words.  King Ed sits at the end of the word telling the vowel before him to "say your name."  For Example kit becomes kite with King Ed at the end.

*In Math, we will learn about frames and arrows, which will help us practice addition and subtraction facts. We will also practice using a calculator to help with skip counting.

*In Economics, students will work creating a business.  They will work in teams to decide on a business they can create (paper fans, jewelry, holiday decorations, etc.)  Once students create a business plan with their team, I will send home a list of items we're asking to be donated to help build our businesses.  Students will then work on their products over the next few weeks.  Finally, we'll sell our items to the other "businesses" in our classroom.

*In handwriting, we will continue to work on our lowercase letters.  I'm encouraging students to begin using lowercase letters when appropriate.

*The class once again filled the pom pom jar from showing expected behavior in our classroom.   They voted today and ask to see one of my world famous headstands!
