The Week of October 20th

This week is Red Ribbon Week.  In first grade we focus on making healthy choices.  On Monday, if possible, have your child wear red.  Bandanas will be handed out that can be worn all week.  The students will be able to see an Air Stunts Show at 2:00.  On Tuesday students can wear tie dye or love beads. On Wednesday students will be wearing red, white and blue to honor the troops.  On Friday we will partner up with an older clar to design hearts.

As you are preparing for Halloween and purchasing a costume, please take time to look over the Halloween guidelines for costumes in school. There will be a parade at 2:00 and then we will have a small celebration in our classroom.

This week I will start sending home a list of new words that have been added to our word wall. Students should be able to read these words by sight.  We will have our first word wall test on Friday.
The word wall words added this week are: away, said, every, call, hear and come.

Spelling words for this week are:  am, had, bad, cat, can, ran, come, said, call, man. Bonus words are: Halloween, treat and ghost
