Halloween Note
No Spelling and no blog update next week because of the short week and conferences.
Halloween Afternoon (Reminder)
On Wednesday, October 30, the first graders will enjoy a Halloween afternoon of fun. Your child may bring their costume to school to put on before the Halloween parade. Please try to make the costume easy for your child to get on by themselves or with little help. (Hopefully, something they can put on over their clothes.) I am asking that no make-up be used to help make the preparation less difficult. The Halloween parade will be at 2:30 pm and all are welcome to watch. You may take your child with you after the parade, but please pick them up from the classroom. If you have any questions, please contact me.
Please remember that the dress code changes slightly on
November 1st. No more shorts until March!!

Language Arts - Please continue to review the high frequency word lists (also known as sight words) that I sent home at the beginning of the school year. They are divided into the weekly lists we learn each week. (We have worked on/learned all the words for Module 1. Currently, working on Module 2.) Go over these as often as possible. These are the words that your child needs to learn. Very few of them can be sounded out. Have your child find them in stories when you read to them. The more “frequently” they practice these words will make them a better, more confident reader.
