Parent Letter

October 31, 2008 

 Dear First Grade Families,

            This week your child completed their first theme test.  After each reading unit they take a test to help determine how they are doing with reading comprehension, phonics and decoding, word knowledge, and writing.  I will score the tests and they will come home next week.  Be sure to look over the results.  Any skill your child had trouble with is something you can be helping them practice at home.

            During our math time this week we reviewed patterns, learned about odd and even numbers, and found patterns on the number grid.

            Our next visit to the public library will be Nov. 7th.  Please be sure that your child’s books have been returned by then.  You can bring them to school or take them directly to the library.

            We are collecting change for patients with Leukemia.  Please help your child find some change around the house that you would be willing to donate.  The classroom that brings in the most money will win a prize!  J

            The end of the marking period is near.  Our conferences are scheduled for Nov. 25th from 5-8 and Nov. 26th from 8-11.  Your child will be dismissed from school on the 25th at 12:30.  There will be no school on Wednesday, Nov. 26th, Thursday Nov. 27th and Friday, Nov. 28th due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

            Picture retake day is Monday, Nov. 10th.  If your child did not get their picture taken in Oct. they need to get it taken on this day.  Your child can also have their picture redone if you are dissatisfied with their first picture.

            A new book order has come home today.  If you would like to order books for your child please send the order and a check by Monday, Nov. 10th.

            Questions to ask your child this week are the following:

1)      Can you make an AA BB pattern?

2)      Is the number 2 an odd number or an even number?

Have a safe and fun Halloween weekend!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Lyman
