I can't believe that November is here!!
This will certainly be another busy week. Halloween is always an exciting day with the parade and party at 2:00. Remember we can not send home any candy.
On Wednesday we will have an author visit and have our dog friends visit us also.
Family posters are due this week. I can't wait to display them in the hallway.

The spelling words for this week are: am, had, sad, bad, fan, can, find, all, look, book. Bonus: popcorn, American, November

The Week of October 24th
This week is Red Ribbon Week. Check out the different school-wide activities on the OCS homepage.
This week we will start having spelling words. Each week students will have to homework assignments using the list. Please study with your child each night. We are also adding to our word wall list. Every two weeks I will add ten new words. It would be helpful to study with your child each night. Making flash cards are an easy way to practice.
Students have been researching facts on spiders and bats this week. Hopefully they've been sharing what they've learned. We will continue with owls and skeletons this week.
Spelling words for this week are: at, cat, sat, ran, an, man, will, no, dad, mom. Bonus Words are: pumpkin, spider and ghost.
Word wall words for the next two weeks are: no, will, all, find, play, away, down, come, are and make.

The Week of October 17th
Another busy week in first grade!!! The Oxford Fire Department will be visiting the school this week. I'm sure the class will be excited. Also on Wednesday our therapy dogs will be back to listen to the students read.
This week we will be finishing up Unit 1 of our Scott Foresman books. Watch for the first completed practice book to come home. We will be taking a test during the week.
We will be learning about all sorts of "Creepy" things this week--including bats, skeletons, spiders and owls. In math we will be doing number lines and more odd and even numbers. Students will be introduced to telling time to the half hour.

The Week of October 10th
We had a wonderful week last week. We enjoyed meeting our new classmate and our Therapy Dogs. The children were thrilled to read to them. They will visit us again next week.
This week we will continue learning about fall. We'll talk more about trees and changes in the fall. We learn about squirrels and some other animals that make their homes in the trees. Of course we'll learn about Christopher Columbus and begin to talk about fire safety.
In math we will continue counting coins with nickels and pennies, discuss patterns and continue to learn about even and odd numbers.
