Happy New Year!

I hope everyone has had a nice long Christmas Break. School will resume for the students on January 4. I am looking very forward to getting back into the 1st Grade curriculum. Things will change a bit when we go back. The students will be excepted to be able to do more of the work on their own. I will still be right there if they need help and will be more than glad to help. However, the students need to be preparing for 2nd Grade were they will work more independently. I still have a lot of skills to cover between now and the end of May. So please make sure your child is at school on time each day. Also try to look at the binder each night for homework and see that your child completes it. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me through my school e-mail or call me at 357-7450.

The holidays are just around the corner. Mrs. Davis' class will be making many Christmas ornament for the tree. Along with these ornaments we will be talking about Christmas Around the World. This is a great opportunity for the students to see how other countries celebrate the holiday.
We are looking forward to the Christmas Party on Dec. 17 at 8:15. All parents are welcome to attend the party.
I am really enjoying having the class that I have this year. They are all willing to work together and get along. That makes a big difference when I am teaching.
I hope each of you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

October News

Mrs. Davis' Detectives are excited about the month of October. We are going to continue our Apple Unit and be making applesauce in the classroom when we return from Fall Break. In math we are adding using number lines and doubles. This is just a few tools we can add to our math tool box. In reading we have just completed the first of five reading books. We are learning lots of new sight words and reading skills. October is filled with lots of activities. We will be taking our first field trip to Fenders Farm. We will get to explore a corn maze and pick a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch.
I hope everyone enjoys Fall Break! Mrs. Davis is going to visit with Mickey and Minnie Mouse in Disney. I hope to bring back some great pictures for all to see!

August 2010

We have gotten started off to a great year. I have 14 wonderful kids in my class. This week we are working on color words and number words along with our reading sight words. I will be sending a reading book home each night for your child to read to you. Please sit down and listen as your child reads his/her little reader. We are studying the unit ALL ABOUT ME. Each child is making a book with different things related to them. We are all alike and we are all different. This is a fun activity for the children to do.
