Dear Parents,
Hope everyone
had a great weekend!
Student Led Conferences
will be held on Friday October 24th. There is no school for students on that
day. You will be allotted a time during which you and your child can
come to class together. During this time, your child will show you around the
classroom and explain what he/she has been learning. It is also the time you
will receive your child's report card and when the teacher will discuss with
you any concerns that she might have regarding your child's learning. There will
be a slip going home with the siblings of other Discovery students so the
teachers do not schedule meeting at the same time. All the other children will
get a slip telling the parents what time the conference will be. If the time is
inconvenient for you, please let the teacher know.
'Book Character Day' is not too far
away. We would like to remind you that your child will be encouraged to come
dressed like his/her favorite book character on Tuesday, October 28th and be ready to present his/her
costume and book to the class. There is a link to ‘Country Living’ that shows
how to make homemade costumes under the 'Links' heading for the parents who are
thinking of making a costume.
A quick reminder to all parents to check your
child's specials teachers' blogs weekly.
This week your child will be inquiring
into the following:
Language Arts
WWW- Students will chant out, write, and define grade 1 words.
The words for this week are:

Reading- Students will use illustrations and details in a
text to describe its main ideas. We will be using a poem related to Christopher
Columbus called “1492” to carry out this activity.
Writing- Students

provide a sense of closure.
Math- This week
students will be working with subtraction in any order, using pictures and
subtraction to compare, subtract all or 0, subtraction less than 10, and taking
apart numbers up to 10. You can help
your child get ready for this chapter by playing some of the online math
activities found under the 'Links' heading.
