Happy Autumn Thoughts
Grade One/Two October 20-23, 2014
Let’s celebrate Camus’ “second spring” with these lovely October days! We celebrate with learning, experiences, prayer, and community. Speaking of community, we are nearing completion of our downtown Laramie unit. This week we will visit Ivinson Mansion and work hard on our book about Laramie. The celebration climaxes next Thursday, Oct. 30 with a book party in our classroom from 2-3 PM. We hope you can join us to share this special event! My hope is to provide one final treat for the cherubs: next week we’d like to have breakfast at Rose’s Café! This was actually a suggestion/request of one of the children and I think it’s a smashing idea! I will let you know next week what day we will go; you can send your child to school without breakfast that day! J
In reading/language this week, we will read about family gatherings. Other goals are learning about contractions are, will and is, and long o with final e, as you see in our spelling words. I am grateful every day for Mrs. Boyer, who inspires me!
We are proud of the cherubs work in math with learning doubles added and subtracted. This week we’ll tackle adding doubles plus 1. Seconds are moving on in place value and adding 2 digit numbers.
We will finish rosary making this week, finally, and talk about grace, God’s life in us.

Just a reminder about Halloween costumes, please no violence or gore. The real meaning of the event is “All Hallow’s Eve,” the night before All Saints Day, and we know that hallowed means holy. So let’s please keep this in perspective. Thanks!
I look forward for visiting with you at conferences this week! Thanks for all you
