Weekly Update: October 20-24

I was out of town today, and I will also be out of town tomorrow.  I am attending a conference as a member of our School Improvement Team.

Field Trip:

This is just a reminder that we have our first field trip October 24th to Red Wolf Farm.  We plan on leaving by 8:15, so please make sure your child is on time for school.

If you plan on chaperoning this field trip, please meet us at Red Wolf Farm in Maiden, NC by 9:00.  Please purchase your ticket upon arrival.

8:15- Buses will leave Shuford to head to Red Wolf Farm

9:00-10:15- Wagon ride and animal tour at farm.

10:15-12:30-  We will rotate groups and visit the corn boxes/tractors, the playground, the maze, and the pumpkin patch.  We will eat lunch in the picnic area.

We will be back before the end of the school day.

Reading:

This week we will begin focusing on retelling a story including the characters and setting as well as a beginning, middle, and end.  Please focus on this skill as you read with your child each night.

Math:

We are working on solving and creating story problems (addition and subtraction).

Student Pictures:

If your child is retaking their pictures then they MUST BRING BACK THEIR FIRST PICTURES AND TURN THEM IN WHEN THEY TAKE THEIR SECOND ONES. This helps to ensure that they get the same package but different picture! 

Blood Drive:

Our school Blood Drive is tomorrow, October 21st, from 3pm to 7pm.  We would LOVE to have your support!

Upcoming Events:

October 21st:  Blood Drive
October 24th:  Field Trip to Red Wolf Farm
