Parents, don't miss out on the Rachel's Challenge Meeting this Thursday at 6:00. This meeting will inform you about the Rachel's Challenge initiative that Frey is going to be implementing and the reason behind it. This meeting is for PARENTS ONLY due to the content shown and discussed. If you need to bring your children, we will have a movie room for them to go to. The students will have their Assembly for Rachel's Challenge during the day on Thursday that is age appropriate.

We promise you'll walk away with a new perspective on kindness and in helping us START A CHAIN REACTION!!!!

Just a reminder that next week is conference week and school will dismissed two hours early. Our lunch time will 10:46-11:16. I am looking forward to meeting with everyone next week.

 

We have a big week ahead of us.  Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will be CoGAT testing.  Please make sure to have your child eat a substantial and healthy breakfast.  Testing will begin at 8:00 AM each morning, so please make sure your child is on time. 

Friday we can all celebrate with the Annual Frey Fall Festival on Friday, October 7th! It is from 5:30 to 8:30. I can't wait to see you all there.

Snacks  Please remember to send in a snack for your child.  Some students are forgetting their snacks on a daily basis.  It might be helpful to keep an extra snack in their backpacks in case they forget to bring a snack to school.  Thank you!

Conference Week:  October 24th-28th

Curriculum

Math: Addition and Subtraction:  Single digit addition and subtraction facts up to 10. The class is also working on word problems up to 10.  Some terminology that we are working on to identify how to solve the problems are: combining sets, greater than, less than, more, less, least, sum, altogether, and how many are left.

The class will begin to take timed addition tests.   These tests are not given for a grade, but only to help your child gain confidence taking timed tests, using test taking strategies, and to help with fluency and accuracy.

Language Arts  Comprehension:  When reading or listening to a story, students should be able to retell the story in sequence.  They should also be able to identify the characters, setting, and important events in a story.

Handwriting:  Students are working on printing legibly with correct spacing between words and forming letters correctly.  This can be a very difficult task for many students.  Please have your child practice writing at home their name, family member’s names, address, and spelling words.  The more they practice the better they will become. 

Science:  We will continue to use weather vocabulary and knowledge to springboard into a water cycle unit.  Students will be expected to know science vocabulary like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and accumulation.

Social Studies:  Children should be finishing up their Benjamin Franklin projects at home.  Please have your child practice delivering his/her information to alleviate any stress or anxiety about sharing in front of the class.
