Rock Star Update 11/5/17

Happy Sunday!
A couple of reminders before I tell you about our amazing week:
Check those green folders!  Please remove papers from the Take Home side, and look in the important papers sleeve. We sent home a BEAUTIFUL magnet for your fridge from Halloween. Thank you Alicia for working with the students to put them together and for adding their pictures. They look so cute!! Those will be on your fridges for a long time!!!
White shirts- Please send in white shirts for field day. I am not sure what color we are yet, but I will be tie dyeing them that color when I find out.  This will also be a great shirt to wear on field trips. Please write your child's name on the label. 😊
Mrs. Egan is taking a day off! I am off Tuesday for my first training to become a "digital teacher."  Mrs. Franny will be their teacher, and I know they will be on their best behavior! Mrs. Franny will get explicit directions from me, and I am sure the kids will know it is business as usual. 
Homework Your child should be doing i-Ready nightly.  They should complete a minimum of three Reading lessons a week and one Math lesson. A few Rock Stars aren't doing any. I need your support at home to make this a successful year. The other first grade teachers send home a lot of projects and work packages every week, if you would prefer that, let me know. Trust me, i-Ready is less homework and headache for you.  I will also let your child stay after school or come before school to work on i-Ready, if that's something you are interested in, let me know!  
Now, our week!
We had such a fabulous and busy week!
Monday was our first Poetry Theater, Rock Stars performed the friendly letter song, you can see it here: LINK REMOVED FOR PRVACY PURPOSES, CHECK YOUR E-MAIL
Tuesday was Halloween, and the parade and centers were awesome! We had a great time. 
Wednesday we had a code red drill, and a visit from A.J.'s dad with his fire truck for Fire Safety Month. The kids really enjoyed learning what to do if they are ever in a fire, and enjoyed watching Lieutenant Pinkerton put on his gear and explain the purpose of each piece.
After specials we connected with a school in Venezuela. They even answered some questions we remembered after the call ended on our Flipgrid! LINK REMOVED FOR PRVACY PURPOSES, CHECK YOUR E-MAIL

Friday we ended the week with a pizza party and time at the park. It was a much needed afternoon to relax. 
I am looking forward to another amazing week. Have a good one. :)
