Update November 9th

*There is no school on Monday, November 12th in observance of Veteran's Day.  Thank you to all of those who have served in the military to keep us protected!

*The last day to sign up for conferences online is Tuesday, November 13th by 3:30pm.  You can follow the link to sign up: http://signup.com/go/UqvJGAv

*I will be out on Wednesday at Jury Duty.  Please remind students of using expected behavior at school!

*On Thursday, students will have the chance to go to the Book Fair.  They will be able to shop or create a wishlist for parents.  A flyer with more information about Book Fair went home yesterday.

*On Friday, we will welcome author and illustrator, Emilie Boon to our school.  Each first grade will meet with Emilie individually and learn about the process she takes to make a book.  Students will also practice Emilie's technique for her illustrations by creating their own book.  I am need of one parent volunteer for this event.  I will need someone that can help set up, stay for the presentation and help Emilie clean up at the end.  The total time needed is from 12:15-1:45 on Friday, November 16th.  Please send me an email if you're able to help!

*On Friday, we will walk the Robifulli trail to Crisafulli to visit with our 4th grade Book Buddies. We will be out of our building from 9:45-11:00.  Please dress students for the weather!

*In Math, we will finish up our Unit 3 Assessment and begin Unit 4.  The focus for Unit 4 in math is standard and non-standard units of measurement.

*In Writing, we are working on adding transition words (next, last, after that) and fancy words to our writing.

*We will not be sending home a spelling list for the next two weeks.  We will focus on reviewing the words already taught, especially king-ed words and students will work to write the power words we've learned so far.

*We hope to begin creating goods for our classroom businesses on Tuesday afternoon.  Please send in any donations of business materials to school by Tuesday. Thank you!
