Mrs. R’s Super Stars September 30th, 2013

Dear Families,

I can hardly believe that October is here! Time has flown by so fast. Thank you all for coming to our parent teacher conferences, I trust you all learned some great information about your child’s academic growth. I look forward to seeing the progress through this next quarter.

PARENT HELPERS: Be sure to check which day you have signed up to help in the month of October! Also, the Lord has blessed me with wonderful parent helpers this year! In order to allow everyone some time to volunteer in our class please do not sign up for anymore than 4 days in 1 month. If I am in need of extra help I will send out an email requesting parent helpers on certain days. Thank you for understanding!!

This week in Mrs. R’s Super Stars:

Language Arts: We have just finished up all the short vowel sounds in our spelling. We will move on to learning new word endings with double consonants. The children are continuing to grow everyday and move quickly through their reading levels! I am so impressed by their growth since the beginning of school! In regards to the books being sent home, please know that these texts should be pretty simple for them to read. Its about repetition. The more they read, and recognize words, the more confident they will become. This repetition will also help improve their fluency. When you need new books please send the books back to school in their take home folder (inside the plastic bag) and I will replace them with new ones.

Math: We will continue in our unit on Subtraction. The students are moving quickly, and picking things up easily! Our math curriculum moves very quickly and I am pleased with their progress! This class loves math!

Social Studies: We will begin our study on “Our changing world”

Science: We will continue to look at living things, and harvest for the month of October.

Bible –  This week we will be learning about Joseph

Fall Festival: Our fall festival this year will take place on October 19th from 12:00pm-3:00pm @ the FCS field. Bring your blanket or chairs and come enjoy the food and fun! This is a great time for fellowship and family fun!!

Single Palm Pumpkin Patch–  We will be going to Single Palm Pumpkins on Thursday, Oct. 24th.  1st and 2nd grade will be going on the trip together. We will learn about the growth of pumpkins, see farm animals, take a tractor pulled hay ride, do a  hay and corn maze and pick a large pumpkin from the vine.  The chaperones will cut the pumpkins off the vine for the children. We will be riding the bus, leaving at 10:30 AM and returning by 2:00 PM.  We will have lunch there at the farm.  The children have already paid and the chaperones are free.  If a chaperone wants to pick a pumpkin to take home the cost will be $5.00. I will be sending home a liability agreement that is required by Single Palm. Please be sure to return this before the field trip. Each child is required to have one.
