The First Grade Gazette

PTC to be held Thursday, October 3 from 3 to 9

Great job in the Homecoming Parade on Friday afternoon first graders! Special thank you to LaJena Gruis and Trish Richmond for their help with our entry in the parade AND for walking with us. We had an exciting day—the band playing in the hallways, getting to watch some of the Olympian Days competition, and wonderful weather for the parade, certainly made the 2013 edition of Homecoming a rousing success!
Conference time slips are in today’s folder. I will not be making up any conferences prior to October 3, but am available to meet with you the following week. Please check your time and contact me if it does not work out for you. We are scheduled very tight so there are just a few open times. Mr. Pickner has asked that we keep our conference to 15 minutes. Should we feel we need more time, we will make arrangements for another meeting. I look forward to meeting with all of you.
Students brought home two math games this week. A LARGE part of our math is learning how to problem solve and work in cooperative groups. We are getting better with the group work, but we still need help on listening to directions, following through independently with the game. and recording our work. The first two parts of this unit have provided VERY few “worksheet” type assessments so much of our grades are earned on how we are following directions. Sections 3 and 4 offer more traditional worksheet pages and you will notice this in the students folders.
Keep reading for the weekly “Chargers Can Read” program! I will print the updated list of those reaching their goals next week...Mrs. S

This would be a good place to insert a short paragraph about your organization. It might include the purpose of the organization, its mission, founding date, and a brief history. You could also include a brief list of the types of products, services, or programs your organization offers, the geographic area covered (for example, western U.S. or European markets), and a profile of the types of customers or members served.
It would also be useful to include a contact name for readers who want more information about the organization.

Back Page Story Headline

This story can fit 175-225 words.
If your newsletter is folded and mailed, this story will appear on the back. So, it’s a good idea to make it easy to read at a glance.
A question and answer session is a good way to quickly capture the attention of readers. You can either compile questions that you’ve received since the last edition or you can summarize some generic questions that are frequently asked about your organization.
A listing of names and titles of managers in your organization is a good way to give your newsletter a personal touch. If your organization is small, you may want to list the names of all employees.
If you have any prices of standard products or services, you can include a listing of those here. You may want to refer your readers to any other forms of communication that you’ve created for your organization.
You can also use this space to remind readers to mark their calendars for a regular event, such as a breakfast meeting for vendors every third Tuesday of the month, or a biannual charity auction.
If space is available, this is a good place to insert a clip art image or some other graphic.
