OCTOBER NEWS

Here are some announcements for OCTOBER:

This week we are learning about FIRE SAFETY. Students will get an opportunity to walk through the smoke trailer this Friday. The Chubbuck Fire Dept. will be doing a demonstration and talking about fire safety. Here are some questions to ask your student:

1) What should you do if you had a fire?
2) Where is our meeting place?
3) What is your phone number and address?
4) What are some things to do to be safe while you cook?
5) What number do you call for an emergency?
6) What should you never play with?
7) What is the difference between tools and toys?

Here are a few more great websites if you would like to check them out:

www.literacycenter.net- provides resources to help with letter recognition, shapes, numbers, colors and simple words.

I hope homework is working for you, and that it is not too stressful. Please let me know if you have concerns.

We haven't started spelling but look for it in the next couple weeks. Students will be given 10 words and 1-2 sentences in their Homework folders and then tested the following Thursday. They need to make sure they can write them correctly, using lowercase letters, appropriate capitals in sentences and periods. Reversals will count at the beginning but not after the first couple tests.

Red Ribbon Week is the week of Halloween, and more information will be coming home for that.

Some Notes....

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE CARNIVAL SUPPORT!

We had an amazing turnout for our carnival and we couldn't have done it without all of you.

A couple reminders: No School this Thursday and Friday. Homework Folders are due this Wednesday and Homework 4 will go home on Monday.

Your students are welcome to bring Water Bottles. We keep them on their desks and they may refill it during working time.

We are off and running. Let me know if homework is okay and please let me know via e-mail, note or call if you have any questions.
