October Days...

October is passing very quickly....conference week is here!

I am looking forward to seeing you this week to talk about your child's progress. 

In the next few weeks, I will be putting in homework assignments emphasizing skill areas we are working on in class.  I will try to explain the "skill requirement", too.  It is amazing what first graders are working on in class!  I appreciate how much you work with your student on these assignments!  Thank you!!!

Remember Barnes and Nobel's Bookfair on Tuesday, October 19th....after school!

Please continue to read to and read with your child each night.  Always ask questions about the story to help your child understand the story and work on comprehension and vocabulary understandings.

Have a fabulous FALL!

How time flies!  We have been very busy at school these past weeks.  In math, we are counting by ones, twos, fives, and tens.  We continue to work on addition and subtraction in computation and problem solving.  Money is a daily project with counting and fair trades.  Language Arts includes guided reading groups, shared groups where we are studying "connections" in books to us, to another story, or to things that have happened in our world.  Also we are focusing on retelling the WHOLE story to include the setting, characters, and beginning, middle, and end.  In writing we are working on writing narratives that will include "transitional" words like before, then, after, at last, etc.

As you can see we are working hard.  In Social Studies we have been learning about our street, city, county, state, country, continent, and world.  We recently included the oceans.  We will be studying land forms, water, and Ben Franklin.

Thank you for your continued help with your child's work!

The school year has begun quite well.  Our class is working hard to remember and use the rules for respectful behavior in and outside the classroom.  I will have a "reminder" for these at open house coming up soon.  Look for the date on the homework sheet in your child's folder.

We are finishing up a study of weather and will soon begin learning about where we live, including address, county, state, country, continent, and world.  I am excited for this unit because we have classmates that have lived in other places before coming to Georgia!

I am proud of how our class gets along with each other.  Should there ever be a concern or question, please contact me by note or email (patsy.engleman@cobbk12.org).  I will get back to you as soon as I can.

I look forward to seeing you at open house!
