Short Week!

On Wednesday, October 19 school will be dismissed at noon.

There is no school on Thursday, October 20 and Friday, October 21.  School resumes on Monday, October 24.

Green folders will be going home on Monday, not Wednesday this week.  There will be a form to fill out regarding parent-teacher conference times.  Please fill it out and return it to school with your kiddo.

Attendance is key component to academic growth.  Please make sure your kiddo is to school on time each and every day.

Pack the Place in Pink is Tuesday, October 18.  Wear pink and show your support for those who currently are or who have been affected by breast cancer.

Red Ribbon week will be October 24-October 28.  Mrs. Neese is holding the second annual drug free door decorating contest.  The winning classroom will get a slime making party with Mrs. Neese.  If any of you creative parents would like to come in and decorate the classroom door with a drug-free theme please let me know.  Pinterest has lots of cute ideas.  In first grade, we talk more about making healthy choices and putting healthy things into our body and not so much about drugs themselves.

Here are the themes for Red Ribbon Week...
Monday, October 24 Be red-y to say no to drugs--Wear red
Tuesday, October 25 I elect to be drug free--Wear red, white, and blue
Wednesday, October 26 PAWS-itvely proud to be drug free--show your school spirit and wear Bitterrot Bobcat colors (blue and gold) and paws (Temporary tattoos will go home Tuesday for the kiddos to wear on Wednesday.  Picture day is Friday and I am not sure how temporary the tattoos are...place tattoos accordingly!!!).
Thursday, October 27-Smarties choose to be drug free--dress smart
Friday, October 28-Sock-it to drugs--wear mismatched or crazy socks

Due to the short week, we will not be starting anything new in reading.  We will use this week to go back and dig a little deeper into the texts we have already read.

In math, we are starting subtraction strategies.

No new spelling words this week.

Enjoy your week!
