Parent/Teacher Conferences 2019

Happy fall everyone. I am loving the changing colors on the leaves outside. This is always one of my favorite times inside the classroom as well. Here is what lies ahead for our very short week:

Math:  Last week we wrapped up our doubles and doubles plus one. Doubles was an easy concept (ask your child to sing the doubles wrap for you!), doubles plus one was a whole lot trickier. We are not going for mastery on doubles plus one however, just an introduction-so we are letting that one go until the 2nd grade 😉! Now we are moving on to fluency of facts through 10 and relating subtraction to addition to solve word problems. Then we will start using the number line to solve subtraction problems. 

ELA:  Our ELA, including Grammar, will be on hold until we return from fall break. This means there will be no spelling, and no spelling means no homework for this week of school. Again - NO HOMEWORK for the week of conferences. 

Science:  We finally planted our ryegrass and alfalfa seeds. We are collecting data on what is happening to our seeds. This week, if our grass seeds have sprouted we will tend to our lawns by "mowing" them, and conclude our experiment by writing our conclusions in our notebooks. Then we will move onto to learning about how seeds travel. 

Parent/Teacher Conferences:  Thank you to everyone who has signed up for conferences this week. The final sign up list went home with your child on Friday. If your name was not on the sign up and you would like a conference, please reach out to me via agenda or email and we can make sure to get a conference scheduled for your child. Please make sure you are on time for your conference so that we may begin and end on time. If you show up late we may have to reschedule so as to be respectful of the next scheduled families time. Also, please remember all three days are early release days. Monday and Tuesday we release at 12:25, and Wednesday is an extra early release time of 11:10. Please plan for child care accordingly. 

Clothing Exchange:  While you are here at your child's conference please feel free to drop by the science lab and visit our annual clothing exchange. This is an opportunity for all our families to pick up some new to you clothes free of charge. We have all sizes for everyone in the family, babies to men, and it is FREE! Please stop by and shop! I love shopping and free!

Fall Break:  Thursday and Friday (October 10th and 11th) School will be closed for Fall Break! Go jump in some leaves and enjoy the crisp, cool air!

I hope everyone has an relaxing and refreshing 4 day! See you on Monday for our 3 jam packed days before! -Ms. Shaw
