1. Your child's agenda book and take-home folder should come home every evening and back the next day. I remind them of this every evening. Please sign and I will check the following morning for any notes or correspondence. This is a great way to teach responsibility with your child.
2. I will send home a list of spelling words and vocabulary words on the first day of the week. I have them put the lists in their take-home folder when I past them out. Our test will be on the last day of each week.
3. Please remember to send a note when your child is absent, going home a different way than usual or must take medications. Thanks!!
4. Each week our class will have a DEAR Drawing. I will send home DEAR Slips at the beginning of school for each nine weeks. Please put these slips in a safe place. All you have to do is read with your child at home and then fill out the DEAR Slip and return to school on Friday each week. We will have a DEAR Drawing for a winner. Each participant will receive a reward for reading at home. Remember the slip must be filled out by the parent. DEAR stands for Drop Everything And Read. Read! Read! Read!
6. Spelling Words- drum, rock, list, desk, job, sad, chop, sack, tag, rib, mess, dust, pocket, engine, lettuce.
7. Vocabulary Words- 1. country- land outside of the city 2. beautiful- pleasing to the senses 3. front- the area ahead of the forward part 4. someone- some person 5. somewhere- at, in or to a place that is not known 6. friend- aperson one knows, likes, and enjoys being with
8. We will be working on getting to know everyone, writing complete sentences, short vowels, character/setting,counting a quantity, comparing amounts of money, adding and subtracting with basic facts, collecting data and discussing.
9. Knowing the basic addition and subtraction facts are very important. Our goal for this year is to have a quick recall of the basic facts to 18. I will be teaching the children strategies to help them have quick recall. We will set a goal each month and have a timed quiz at the end of each month to see how we are progressing. Flash cards would also be a big help to helping your child learn these facts. These are facts your child must master by the end of second grade.
10. If you have any concerns, please feel free to send a note or call the school and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I am looking forward to having a great year.
11 Thank you for returning all forms on time. I appreciate the help so I can get my work finished for Mrs. Reid.
12. Student Teacher- We will be have a student teacher from Fairmont State University. Her name is Ms. Gaines. She will be observing and working in the classroom until the middle of October.
