It's Field Trip Week!

I can hardly believe that it is almost October! It's a big one in my family as we celebrate two birthdays this month, and it starts off with a BANG in the classroom, too. We have our first TWO field trips of the school year on Thursday and Friday!! If you asked to attend our Community field trip, there is a note in your student's folder today. 

Ms. Thomas finished her placement on Friday, so it's just me in the classroom. It was awesome to have another person in the classroom to start the school year; it's going to to take me a while to get used to not having her here! If you asked what you can do to help me in the classroom at the start of the year...get ready! I'm going to need you soon. :) 

Conferences begin this week. I will do my best to get reminder notes home. I'm excited to meet with everyone! This class has had such an awesome start to the school year, and it's a thrill as a teacher to have amazing things to talk about with parents. 

Remember! If you want to see Northern Redbook, make plans to stop in before 2:30 tomorrow. We will have our city "De-Construction" before we head home for the day.

Be sure to ask your student about this week’s happenings! We will...

• Continue Child Find with a lesson on Wednesday. 

• See “School House Rock” at the Bama on Thursday.  

• Work in Investigations Unit 2. We will focus on building and describing rectangles as arrays.  

• Wrap up our community systems unit. Our field trip is Friday! Watch for a reminder note. 

• Continue Narrative Writing. We will look at the editing checklist for Narrative Writing. Make plans to be at school on October 7 for Writing Night! 

• Have guided reading and word study as best we can with TWO FIELD TRIPS! 

We’re ready for a 

great week!
