January 29, 2018

Parents, please send a clean, empty tin can to school with your child for an upcoming art project. Any size can will do, but we won't be able to use drink containers. If you have extra cans and could send them along, that would be great, as some children may not have any tins, or may forget theirs. Thanks!

Student-led conferences will be held this week - tomorrow for our first grade class. (I will be away for Wednesday's conference, so moved it up a day.) Students are welcome to bring their parents in to show them what we've been up to here in Room Four! Drop in any time between 3:30 - 5:30; the conference shouldn't take more than a half hour to forty-five minutes.

February book orders went home today. If you'd like to order anything for your child, please return the order forms and payment by this Wednesday. Thanks.

The first graders' spelling lists have been short lately, as our focus for the Friday spelling test has expanded to sentence writing - complete with correct capitalization and punctuation. The students are all coming along very well with this!

The first graders' envelope reading today concentrates on the "j" sound made when an "e" follows a "g" or a "dg". Look for words like edge, badge, hedgehog, etc.
