Mrs. Neville (Kinder & First)
We had a lot of fun painting in class this week. Some learners painted pumpkins to enter in a contest in our building. Others painted the first letters of their names. They all turned out great, and we all felt proud of each other. Learners who come to school on Thursdays will be painting next Thursday.
I enjoyed speaking with all of you during parent-teacher conferences, and I feel very hopeful that our learners are going to have a great second quarter! Your children are lucky to have such supportive parents!
Please remember to send your learner’s charged iPad and school folder to school each week. We use the Clever code inside the folder during class. Also, please check the folder when they return from school. There are worksheets they have worked on in class and sometimes there are worksheets for extra practice.
I sent pacing guides home with students who had school this week. I also sent Book It reading logs. You and your learner can decide on a daily reading goal. He/she will color the days that the reading goal is met. If your learner reaches his/her goal, send the sheet to school. I will send home a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.

Week in Review:
Thank you so much for taking the time to come and talk with me about your learner during Parent/Teacher Conferences. It’s hard to believe we’re already a week into the second quarter of school.
In class, we began discussions about our research project. Over the next few days, please sit down with your learner and see if you can narrow down a topic. It can be about ANYTHING!
Examples: Animals, Places (Grand Canyon, Disney World, Great Wall of China), Events, Holidays, Space, People, Inventions, Food, etc!
We will be having further discussions in class next week.
Looking Ahead:
We will be taking the Science MAP test in class next week. This will be the 3rd and final test this semester. Our next MAP tests will take place in January/February.
We are continuing to ask students to gather some pictures of people/items that are important to them. We will be spotlighting a different student each week. I have asked them to bring in their pictures in a Ziplock as soon as they can. Please help them remember. Thanks!
Important Dates:
October 31st – No school, Professional Development
November 1st – No school, Teacher Planning Day
