Parents, don’t forget that this Tuesday at 5:30 is Parent Orientation for K, 1, and 2.  I hope all of you are able to come, but I understand that prior commitments sometime get in the way. Just remember, this is not a time for individual conferences. We will be discussing class routines, grading systems, behavior system, and 1st grade expectations. We will set up parent conferences in October to discuss individual children. Also coming on Thursday are school pictures.

This week:

Guided Reading: Groups will begin this week based on the reading levels that all this testing has shown.

Word Work: We will begin long vowel sounds this week

Writing/Spelling: Students are writing during Writer’s Workshop and sharing their writing. New spelling words are: they, his, with, at, and as. The spelling test will be this Friday.

Math: We are continuing to combine groups up to 20, but now transitioning to writing the math sentence with this. We will also continue naming the greatest, least, and equal numbers.

Science: This week begins our study of color and how colors mix and change into new colors.

I hope you have all had a good weekend and thank you to all who donated school supplies to Beaumont ISD. I believe this is a great lesson for young people to learn; helping those in need.

Mrs. Benson
