WACKY SHORT WEEK ALERT!!!!!!! Lots going on this week, here are some updates and reminders below: TEST TOMORROW! This is a Mid-Module test on all the addition strategies we have been learning. Here are some of the strategies we came up with in class. Talk with your kids about them and see if they can use them to solve an addition problem. AR FOR THE 2ND NINE WEEKS STARTS TODAY!!!!!!! In your child's binder there are three new things in KEEP AT HOME pocket. 1. AR Goal sheet (half sheet). YOUR CHILD SHOULD TAKE 2 AR TESTS A WEEK. But since this is a short week and the first week, ONE test is fine. So please send the filled out slip when ready. 2. AR Parent Connect letter- This gives you instructions on how to see your child's AR progress. 3. AR SLIPS- I gave you three sheets (4 on each sheet). You may keep these in your child's binder, just as long as when they are filled out and ready to take the test, please the CUT slip into the BACK TO SCHOOL part of the binder. REMINDER FOR FALL BREAK! NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY the 11th, MONDAY the 14th and TUESDAY the 15th!

So here is the link to what all is going on Friday. http://westdaleheights.weebly.com/home/team-ian7455245 But I wanted to share with my students why St. Jude is such a special hospital and why Ian holds a special place in 1st grades heart. I told them that Ian was a first grade student here in Miss Foss's class two years ago. As soon as the year ended he got really sick. St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital took care of him and his family. They have been working really hard to get him ready to come back to school and when we donate money to the hospital we are helping other families that have sick children get the help they need so that they can come back and be with their friends in school.

Dear (soon to be 2nd grade parents), 1st grade is moving halls this summer! We are going to be switching classrooms with the Pre-K team. This means that we have to pack up our entire classroom. If you are able to help a couple of days this summer, please send me your name through Remind. I will have more details closer to school ending, but I would love all the help I can get! Thank you in advance! WELCOME BACK! I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break! Below are a few updates and reminders. UPDATES: 1.

REMINDERS! 1. NO spelling homework this week. If you want extra practice, go to the Resources page and look under Reading Help to find the sight word list! These are words that they should know how to read, but might have trouble spelling some of them. 2. Writing- We are focusing on the mechanics of writing this week. Does your child put a capital letter and an end mark? Do they use the correct verb tense or form? Do they start each sentence the same way or only write "I" sentences? Point this out in their homework. Let them start to notice it if they haven't already. 3. Math- This weeks homework is focusing on the skills that will be on their End of Year EADMS exam. These exams are for us to see how much they have learned. Please go over these skills with them and possibly do some extra on Zearn. IXL is no longer available. 4. SCHOLASTIC- I am placing the LAST order for this year tomorrow morning. Please submit any last online orders by then. 5. AR- AR is supposed to end this week, but we are EXTENDING it to Monday since we lost last Thursday. I will send home new books everyday as long as they are taking tests.
