Message to Parents:

I would like to extend my invitation to you to explore this website and others with your child. I have listed links to the Bellefonte Area District page and Elementary homepage so you can view them as well.

I have listed my contact information to the left which includes my email address, school telephone number and home telephone number for your convenience. I implore you to contact me if you have concerns about your child or if you would just like to talk about upcoming events.

I will also be posting the monthly newsletter to the left so that you can read through with your child at any time.

Projects:

I would like to ask for parents to volunteer their time during the school day to be involved in classroom activities. I have sent home a copy of the open classes for volunteering and I have linked it to this webpage. This calendar will always be linked at the upper left-hand side of this page. You can also reach it by clicking here.

Reading Aloud:

The students in our class are working very hard at building their reading skills. I think that they have done wonderfully this marking period and I hope to see them continue to challenge themselves. One way that we have done so is by having a regular read aloud time in our class. Students can bring in a book that they have been practicing and read aloud. Sharing our favorite stories is informative and a lot of fun. If your child would like to read to the class or if you are able to join us for a read aloud, please contact me. Check our class schedule for read aloud times.

SCIENCE!:

First Grade students will begin having weekly Science lessons with Alex next week. Our good friend, Professor Alex is going to start our first Science Unit, Pebbles, Sand and Silt. We will be reading about scientists this week with Mr. Mudry and working on our first science experiment on Thursday, September18th at 9:00 am. Check your volunteering calendar to see if you can make it to lend a hand. I can't wait!

Science Update:

Here are some pictures of us working in science!

Here we are decorating the globes that we made!

SCIENCE FIELD TRIP

We will be taking a field trip to the Beavertown Block Co. next Monday, November 3rd. We will be leaving at 8:30 and returning by 11:00. If you would like to join us on our trip, please contact me by email or phone (my contact information is listed above). Permission slips need to be returned by Monday morning for students to go on the trip!!!

PUMPKINS

We have been spending some time working on pumpkins. We read the science vocabulary book, Perfect Pumpkins and discussed the parts of a pumpkin. We put together a pumpkin book, read a pumpkin poem and have designed our own jack-o-lanterns to decorate the classroom for the Halloween Party this Friday.

Today we carved a pumpkin. We will have two before jack-o-lanterns by the end of the week.
