Hello Parents, I wanted to include my volunteer sign up again at the top my weekly email. I love parents who can come in and help the students. It allows me to give them more practice on concepts that we may not always have time to practice again and again since our schedule is so busy. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0a4bada928a2fe3-volunteer Calendar: January 31: Early Out & Dollar Dress Down Day February 6: PTO Board Meeting @ 1:30 pm February 10 – 14: Post Office Week and Candy Grams February 14: Class Parties 1:15 – 2:30 pm February 17: President’s Day – No School February 28: Early Out and Dollar Dress Down Day February 28 – 29: School Play: Aladdin Literacy: This week will be Wonders Unit 3 Week 3. The weekly homework packet is due on Friday. Your child should be reading 20 minutes every night. Please practice the spelling words and vocabulary words with your student every night. The spelling test will be on Friday. Please try to have your student do 15-20 minutes of Imagine Learning at home each week. We have finished our DIBELS testing and I am proud of the hard work and focus my students have shown. As a way to continue preparing for the End of Year DIBELS test, when you are reading with your child at home have them retell you what happened in the story. Ask them to tell you anything and everything they remember (i.e. who are the characters, what is the setting, what is the problem/solution, what happened first, next, last, etc.). They will be tested on retell at the end of the year so the more practice they get now, the more comfortable they will be with it on the test. I sent out a Scholastic Book Order form a few weeks ago, if you are wanting to order books please do so by this Friday January 31. I will be submitting the order after school. Spelling Words:
Math: We will be continuing Chapter 6: Two-Digit Addition and Subtraction this week.

I sent out the sign-up genius for the Valentine’s Party last week. It will be on Friday February 14, 1:15 – 2:30 pm. I know that it is still a few weeks away but please see if you are available or make any adjustments if you would like to volunteer at our party. I only have two parents signed up right now and remember we can’t have a successful party without the help of parents. Here is the link again: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0a4bada928a2fe3-valentines Thank you for your support in your child’s education.

Hello Parents, With next week being a short week, I wanted to send out my weekly email today instead of waiting until Wednesday. Thank you for the parents who have volunteered to come help in the classroom this week and throughout the next few weeks. I greatly appreciated it and the students love when their parents come to help. If you personally can’t come into volunteer, you can send a grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, older sibling, etc. and count those hours for your volunteer hours. We are having issues with students bringing toys to class and playing with them during class instead of follow directions and completing work. Please make sure your student doesn’t bring any toys to school unless I have given them a Class Dojo coupon for it. If I continue to see toys after multiple reminders, I will have to have parents come and get them at school. Calendar: January 13 – 31: Middle of Year DIBELS Testing Window January 13 – 17: Middle of Year iReady Testing Window January 20: Martin Luther King Jr. Day – No School January 21: PD Day – No School January 31: Early Out & Dollar Dress Down Day Literacy: As a first grade team, we mapped out the rest of our year regarding literacy and in order for us to fit everything in we will need to do a full wonders week, Unit 3 Week 3, next week even though it is a short week. I sent home the spelling words and homework today so you will still have those 5 days to look over the words and prepare for the spelling test next Friday. The homework packet will be due next Friday. Spelling Words:
