October 2nd-6th

Hello First Grade Families,

I hope you had a nice weekend! Today school pictures were sent home with your student. If your student missed picture day or you would like to have your student do retakes, the date is November 1st. Also, if you ordered a Scholastic book order, those orders came home today too. Included in the student homework folders is another Scholastic news magazine for October. Please submit this order to me by October 20th if you are interested. You are welcome to order online, just keep in mind I won't submit the order until the 20th.

Starting this Wednesday we have a fun group of Cal Poly students joining us in the afternoon. They will come every Wednesday for the next 8 weeks. The program is called "Sprout Up." We learn about nature and the world around us. It is always exciting and we look forward to having them!

Homework for the week is as follows:

• Read little books nightly and please return on Friday

• Home Connections pages 18-22

• Practice words of the week: at, I, we

• Second Steps Lesson 5 activity Have a great week! Mrs. Van Gaale
