Last week, Mrs. McCracken came in every day
and we began Fundations! The kids love it!
We started to get logged into our tablets and different accounts.
We played a game that focused on our comprehension skill
of the week, Main Idea.
Max and Emma took turns figuring out our Main Idea Mystery Bag!
The class spread out and read their new "bag of books"!
Max and John hard at work on their Fundations magnet boards.
Gym class was cancelled on Friday so the kids
zenned out with a little cosmic yoga!
Charlotte, Felicity, and Lucy took turns reading their bag
of books!
Dear Parents,
Happy October! The kids are settling in and have been doing a great job. I cannot believe we are finished with September already. October will certainly fly by as well. Here are your reminders for this week:
- Information about the first grade Saints Presentation was sent home last week. Each child may choose any saint they want! The report will be due next Wednesday 10/12, so please work on it this week. Please make sure the report and the picture are done neatly. Don't forget to have your child practice reading their report because they will be sharing it with the class for a grade. The Saints Presentation will be on Friday, October 28th at 9:00 am in the Church.
- The kids were given "book bags" last week which have books in them that reinforce the short vowel letters we have learned so far. They will be allowed to bring them home to practice reading if they want, I just ask that they take care of the books and remember to bring them back each day so we can use the books for future classes!
- We will have a gym assembly on Thursday about Growth Mindset. Mrs. Marchese will be sending home more information about it this week!
- There will be a Religion test on Chapter 2 on Thursday. A study guide will be sent home today.
- There will be a Spelling and Reading test on Friday for our story "How Animals Communicate."
- Looking ahead, we have off on Monday, 10/10 and winter uniforms will start Tuesday, 10/11!
A Peek at Our Week!

- Please be sure to let me know via email or note if your child is staying for a club. With clubs back in full swing it is difficult to keep track of all 18 different schedules. This way I can make a note and make sure dismissal is as smooth as possible.
I think that is all for this week! Please let me know if you have questions about anything!
