9/11 Ceremony

Back-to-School Fun

 Happy birthday, Adison!  Thank you for sharing your birthday cupcakes with us.

On Fridays, the first graders enjoy making sentences using their flash cards from our A Sentence a Day lessons.

PUHA Pals, Pep Rally Pictures

Our class has enjoyed having Ethan and Cisco as our PUHA Pals this football season!  Once a week, we fill their PUHA cans with cards, artwork, and even some sweet treats to let them know we are thinking of them and cheering for them on Friday nights.  We have enjoyed the thoughtful notes we have received from them in return, and we all wore our "mini-mums" with pride at Homecoming.  Thank you, Ethan and Cisco!

We walked to the pep rally and had lots of fun!  The students enjoyed getting to sit with Ethan and Cisco, and they especially loved the candy.

Continued good luck to both of you, as well as our entire team of fighting Quanah Indians, throughout this football season!  Thank you for being such good role models for our Reagan students.  They really look up to you!

Sept. 29-Oct. 3, 2014

REMINDER: October book orders are due by this Friday, October 3. Thank you! 

THIS WEEK IN HANDWRITING:

We will review and practice the following manuscript letters:

Oo, Cc, Jj, Gg, Qq, Pp

THIS WEEK IN WRITING:

We will continue learning about subjects, predicates, beginning capitalization, ending punctuation, and finger-spacing using the A Sentence a Day program.  We'll be using the Empowering Writers program to discuss the differences between narrative and expository writing, including author's purpose and story elements.  We will create our own narrative and expository book covers, and these will be on display at Open House next week.  We'll be introducing possessive nouns this week and will continue learning about nouns and adjectives.  We'll also be writing to our PUHA Pals!

THIS WEEK IN SOCIAL STUDIES:

We'll be discussing how to be a good citizen by following the rules at home and school.  We'll also learn what it means to be a responsible citizen, and we'll learn about George Washington.

Our First Class Trip to the DOJO Store!

Our school is using a new behavior management system this year called Class DOJO.  Our students can earn points for following directions, helping others, being on task, participating, being persistent, working as a team, and working hard.  They can also lose points if they choose to bully others, be disrespectful, not complete their homework, not follow directions, be off task, talk out of turn, or be unprepared for class.  

Today was our first trip to the Class DOJO store, and our students had a fun time choosing toys based on the number of points they have acquired.  They may choose to spend all of their points, some of their points, or none of their points.  The points not spent will carry over to the next time we visit the store.

We love Class DOJO!  Thank you, Mr. Josselet!
