Report cards will be sent home in folders today. This report is on social skills only. Please look over it and discuss any areas that need improvement with your child. You will see where your child can receive E for excellent, S for satisfactory, N for needs improvement, and U for unsatisfactory. Please keep in mind when looking over the first report card that I do not give E on the first evaluation of any skill. I always leave room for improvement. You may also find that I will begin using these same scores for daily papers, so you are able to see areas that need improvement and so you know my expectations. Also, look over the new nine week's expectations on the report card so you are aware of what's being evaluated next time. Academic skills are on the next report. Please sign and return the report card in the blue envelope by next Wednesday.
We have completed our alphabet introduction. We have also started addition in math. We have learned the 0 rule - any number plus 0 equals the same number, and the 1 rule - any number plus 1 equals the very next number. Helpful hint: Give the number a birthday by adding 1! We have been going over this in class and always do lots of problems verbally before completing our work pages. Some are having a little more difficulty with adding 1. If you see on your child's paper where they have missed several, please reinforce this at home. I have also shown them how to draw dots out beside the numbers and add them together. Practice makes perfect!!! Overall, I am very proud of the progress we have made in all areas so far.

All BBQ tickets and money are due Friday, Oct. 4th. All money raised will go toward technology for the classrooms.
Monday, Oct. 7th is a teacher in-service day. The students are out of school for the day.
Our trip to Dream Field Farm's Pumpkin Patch is Thursday, Oct. 10th. All children have paid and adults will pay upon arrival. Cost for adults is $5.00. I sent home a form for you to return letting me know if you plan to go with us, so I can make arrangements for transporting children there and back to school. We will leave that morning as soon as roll has been checked. Please have your child to school and ready to leave promptly by 8:00. Our Pumpkin Patch tour begins and 9:00 sharp. We will wear our PTO field trip t-shirts. The children will need to wear tennis shoes. The children will carry picnic lunches. Please make sure everything is disposable, so they will not be responsible for keeping up with items. Also, be sure to label lunches. Please send an extra water bottle with your child's name on it. They tend to get be very tired and thirsty at the end of our time at the Pumpkin Patch. I will need someone to bring a large cooler of ice for drinks and lunches. Please let me know if you can furnish this. Parents can bring lunch as well or may order from the concessions available. Children will not order lunch. Everyone planning to drive on field trips must have a copy of driver's license and insurance information on file in this office. Please send this information if you haven't already done so. Files will be checked before we go on the trip. Thanks!!!
