Thank You

Parents, thank you so much for all your help so far this year. I appreciate all that you do.

Thank you for joining PTA. They purchase so many materials for us and provide such fun activities for the children. We could not do it without them. We had 100% membership so our class is having a pizza and popsicle party Oct. 6th. WAY TO GO!

Thank you for supporting the fundraiser also. Our class was one of the classes in the top running for participation. WAY TO GO!

Class News

Well it is hard to believe it is already October. The end of the grading period is almost here. We have covered so much in our curriculum these past weeks. The children have worked so very hard. Please continue to review math facts 0-10 in addition and subtraction with your child. Practice making money combinations up to 30 cents. We continue to work with tens and ones also in Math. Continue to review sight words daily. We will be testing the 1st 50 this next week. Also continue to read daily for 20 minutes and log the reading for the October reading log.

We have two new students who have joined the Dugout. We welcome Ethan and Jacolby.

I believe Spelling City is up and running again. I had been adding the words but found out they were not on the site. I think I figured it out. Sorry.

Welcome Back

Welcome back from summer vacation!  I am so excited to begin the new school year. 1st grade is such an important part of your child's life. The Chalker community is wonderful and I am blessed to be part of it. We have many fun and exciting activities planned for this year. We have a new Language Arts Program which integrates reading,writing, spelling and phonics. I encourage you to visit the blog to keep updated on our class schedule and happenings. Please feel free to comment....I appreciate parent input. Be sure to sign up to volunteer for your child's class. Working together will make the year very successful. My email address is deborah.duncan@cobbk12.org. This is a more direct way to communicate with me rather than the phone at school. We will review our curriculum, school and class policies, and more at Open House. Enjoy Sneak-A-Peek.

Reminders

Just a few reminders:

Book Report is due March 26th.

Please note the manilla envelope coming home containing registration forms for next year. Please fill out both sides. The form must be returned by March 27th. The earlier the better.

Thank YOU!!!!

I would like to extend the biggest thank you to all the children and parents for the best week! I am most appreciative for all the flowers, sweets, beautiful notes, supplies, goodies, lunches and gift cards. The class book brought tears to my eyes and meant so very much. Your children are wonderful and I am blessed to have them in my class this year. Parents, you have gone over and beyond and I am truly thankful from the bottom of my heart. You all have made this year be so enjoyable and the children have been so successful due to your support. Again, I thank you.
