It
is hard to believe that we are already into a new month. Our transition to
first grade has been good. We are getting the routines and expectations of
first grade established and for the most part are successful. We are still
working on talking out.
Our
bathroom procedure is such that the girls and boys have passes. When they leave
the room, they must put a pass on their desk. I will restrict the “abusers” so
if your child has a legitimate reason to use the bathroom more frequently, I
would appreciate a note. Otherwise, I will hold them to typical standards.
We
have new October seats. This is very exciting and they have new partners with
whom to work. Each month, we will rearrange our desk to give us an opportunity
to work with a different partner. However, there are plenty of times during the
month where your child is able to choose a partner other than the October
partner.
In September, we studied the genre "Animal Fantasy". Ask your child the following essential question:
"In what ways do the animal characters act like humans?" They should be very good at answering that essential question!

Children
are still coming to school unsure of the lunch choices. This is an independent
responsibility they have in the morning so I would appreciate your acquainting
your child with the delicacies available.
I
will send out the reader volunteer schedule by the end of the week, if you
volunteered and do not receive one please let me know. Also, our room parents
are Elizabeth Palmer and Jessica Schoonmaker. Thank you ladies and all our
readers! Don’t forget to do a CORI if needed.
I
have attached an updated class list. This is the only information we are able
to pass along. Remember, unless all the boys or all the girls are invited to a
party, please mail invitations.
We
will start our “Student of the Week” next week. Please read the flyer
introducing the “Student of the Week” activity. Thanks so much! FYI- we won’t
have one every week.
We
had our Audubon field experience Monday. We had a great time. Watch for my next blog with pictures and videos! Also, I will have an Open House on October 31st from
8:10-8:40. This will be an opportunity for your child to show you around the
room and for you to see his/her work to date.
More
information about Halloween festivities will be forthcoming.
You
have done a terrific job with the supplies. The only thing I need at the moment
are 2 gallon zip lock bags and baby wipes. So thanks for your generosity!
Don’t
forget a great place to get information is at the Cole website. The address is: http://www.tritownschoolunion.com/harry-lee-cole
I
am really enjoying your children and I am very excited about our first grade
year. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please call me at x -
5108 or jot me a note.
