Dear Parents,
This is just a reminder that all students should have a set of 12 colored pencils sharpened and ready for school as well as THREE sharpened pencils with erasers and working dry erase markers for daily use. Several students are coming in NOT AT ALL prepared for class.
There will be three tests this week: Reading Test on Frog and Toad Together on Tues., Math Mid- Module Test on Thurs., and Religion Quiz on Chapter 3 on Fri.

Homework for Oct. 24 (Thurs.)
*No Math homework tonight!
Science- On loose leaf write a full heading : Name and Oct. 24, 2019 on the top line. O.L.Q.M and Grade 1 on the second line and Science in the middle of the third line. Answer the two questions at the bottom of p. B19 in complete sentences.
Religion- Study Chapter 3 for test tomorrow.
***Dress down allowed tomorrow!
***Today I assigned on the Pearson website FIVE leveled readers so students can practice reading at home. You must click on Classes and the list of five books will appear: Animal Adventures, Animals Change, How Animals Move, Giraffe Grows Up, and Guide to Growing. The books will be available to read on Pearson website till Nov. 4. Later on students will practice answering the questions on the back cover of three of these books.
Homework for Oct. 25 (Fri.)
Math- Do workbook pp. 133 and 134. For example in 9 - 1 you can count ON by starting at 1 and hopping forward to 9 (eight hops) on a number line--- OR you can count BACK by starting at 9 and making one hop back to get to 8. So counting back is better here because it is a shorter trip. The MIDDLE number in each addition or subtraction sentence shows the number of hops to make: eg. 9-8=1 means start at 9 and make 8 hops back and 8+1=9 means start at 8 and make 1 hop forward.
Reading - Practice reading all five leveled readers on the Pearson website which I mentioned above in yesterday's homework. You may read also the questions on the back page of each but do not answer them yet.
***The THREE students who took their Science book home today must do their Science homework from p. B 19 tonight. Remember to restate. Answer in complete sentences. Parents please look at the corrected Science homework I sent home in their folders and review so work shows improvement.
***Please ask your child which class treat he or she is bringing in for Halloween. I assigned each child a different treat so we can have variety. Each child will need to bring two bags of assorted wrapped up candy which will be opened up and dumped into their bag or pumpkin to give out during the Pre K and Kindergarten parade. Each child will also need to bring another treat to share with our class. No big bottles of juice or glass containers are allowed-- only small containers. Students must come in dressed up in their costume and go home the same way. Make up and masks are allowed but please NO violence-related props such as knives or guns. I will be ordering pizza for the class-at least two slices each and some extra candy treats. Please have your child bring in $4.00 on Monday to cover the cost. Please make sure your child brings in a plastic pumpkin or Trick or Treat bag to carry extra treats home. There will be no homework on Halloween!
