If you haven't heard the news, we have hired a new first grade teacher to help us with our large class sizes. His name is Mr. Wissner! He is going to be a great addition to our staff. I honestly felt a weight lifted off once we interviewed him. He is such a wonderful person! He will be shadowing in our classrooms the week of November 9th. He will start with his new class on the 16th. We will sadly have to say good by to 5 of our friends in our classroom. The office is still making calls to parents about switching. If you happen to be called and agree that your child will go, I just want to say thank you for sharing your child with me for the past 2 months. I have fallen in love with them and am going to be super sad to see them go. I also want to say thank you for being flexible and trusting that the change will be great! After meeting Mr. Wissner, I can assure you that they will love him!

Important Dates:

SPELLING WORDS:

Our spelling test will be on Monday of next week!  The spelling homework is not due until then! J 

MATH:

Our Unit 2 Math test is tomorrow.  The review was done in class today.  I am very impressed with their ability to explain and write the answer to the questions. 

Like the Unit 1 test I will staple the pretest and posttest together so that you are able to see their growth!
