Rango



On any of the field trips, If you would like your child to be in a booster seat please bring it the day of the field trip. Please write their name on a piece of tap and place it on the bottom of the booster seat.

Here are my drivers for this Field Trip:
Joanna or Chase Taylor
Benjie Sanders
April Galimore
Al or Laura Renfroe

Please make sure you have a copy of your License and Insurance turned in before the day of the Field Trip.

Book Fair
If you brought money for your child to spend at the book fair, please be here in the morning between 7:30 and 7:40. This will allow them to have plenty of time to buy what they want and be back in the classroom to do their morning procedures. Thanks

Field Trip Info

If you are volunteering to drive on the field trip you must have a vehicle with a 3rd row. We can't allow children to ride in the front seat, even if it is your own child. We must follow state laws. We will have plenty of other field trips so I will try to let everyone have the opportunity to drive.If you drove on the last field trip, I am going to let others have the opportunity to drive before you to be fair.

Please let your child wear their field trip tshirts on Friday for Grandparents Day. They can wear shorts, jeans, or skirt. Please no flip-flops.

Check out the Field Trip tab for info on our next field trip.

“See you at the Pole” is Wed., Sept. 26 at 7:20 in front of the high school building. Speaker is Jacob Morgan.

We voted on a name for our class lizard and the winner is.............Rango!!!

One more thing...
This will be the last week for selling discount cards. If you have not sent me the money please do so by Friday.

Book Fair is this weeek, if you would like to come before 8:00 or after 3:00 that would be great. Some of you sent money for them and I will send them in the mornings throughout the week.


We have a new class pet and we will be voting to name it. "It" is a lizard and I know NOTHING about keeping a lizard as a pet. Grace's mom brought us a home for it to stay in but I do need some other things to put in it. I do not know what they eat, I hope they like dead bugs because I know several students have been collecting them this weekend. :) If you have any knowledge on lizards, PLEASE email me ASAP!!!!

I am sending home Homecoming t-shirt order forms today! We will wear these one day during homecoming. (not required, but encouraged!) Please send these forms back sometimes next week!

I LOVED seeing most of you at Muffins with Moms this morning! Such a fun and special time! Thanks PTO for doing that for us!

Have a safe and blessed weekend!!!

Finding Nemo 3D Field Trip
Both 1st grade classes as well as K5 and K4 will be going to the movie theater on Friday, Sept. 14th (this Friday) to see Finding Nemo 3D. I know this is very short notice, but arrangements were just finalized. Cost for children is $5.00. This includes admission and kid's snack tray. All children will receive the same snacks, not optional.  Adult admission is $5.00 and can purchase concessions at regular price upon arrival. We will leave school at 10:00 and the movie will begin at 10:30. Parents are welcome on this trip. Please know that we are required to limit chaperons on future trips, so this a great opportunity to see that you are able to chaperon/drive students for a trip. I will need a head count and all student money NO LATER than Wednesday, Sept. 12th. Please let me know if you plan to chaperon/drive students as soon as possible. All student money must be sent to me. We will not pay upon arrival.

SPELLING

Next week we will begin spelling. You will receive a list every Monday. I have more info on this first list since this will be our 1st week. PLEASE START PRACTICING WHEN YOU GET THEM ON MONDAY.

Tuesday (9/11/12) will be picture day.

Please remember to bring all library books to school EVERYDAY. Help to remind students to put it in their backpacks when they are finished reading it. Overall, it will be the responsibilty of the student to bring their library books to school everyday. I will begin dropping clips to help them to remember. They need to learn to be responsible.

Math Fact Families

By the end of the week, students should know addition fact families 1-6 and subtraction families 1-5. Please practice with them at home. I would suggest putting the families on index cards or buying flashcards. We have begun speed drills and I have several that are not able to complete them because they are using their fingers to count. Please practice with them daily. If they know these families it will help so much with daily work and tests.

Britton will bring pizza and cupcakes on Friday to celebrate her birthday.


LIBRARY BOOKS
We are not starting AR until the next 9 weeks. I will send home plenty of information about AR when we start. We are letting them go ahead and start getting some extra practice with checking out library books. This is just for practice now so only read when you have time. I hope this helps with some of the questions you may have. Please email me if you have any further questions.
