The Sloan-Hendrix Elementary School Newsletter No. 81 October, 2006 School News FIRST GRADE Mrs. Bradley We have gotten off to a great start this year! We have 15 students in our class this year: Kailey Abel, Amanda Balentine, Dakota Boshears, Andrew Chappel, Jessie Ferguson, Malcolm Finley, Caylea Johnson, Dakota Jones, Koby Jones, Skylia Lester, Jessica Mur- phy, Elijah Rainey, Gracie Roberts, Blayzey Rose, and Josh Stephens. Happy Birthday to Gracie Roberts, who had a birthday on August 25, and Malcolm Finley, whose birthday was October 2. I’d like to say a big THANK YOU to Patsy Jones for subbing for me while I was out on maternity leave. She did an excellent job. It’s great to be back and I’m looking forward to the weeks ahead. Mrs. Foreman Mrs. Foreman’s first grade class is busy, busy, busy. In reading, we have just completed our first reading book and we will begin our next book soon. We are very excited about the learning centers that are set up around the classroom. We get to work in the centers 3 or 4 days a week. The class’s favorite center is the Name Game Center, where we are learning how to spell and write each other’s names. During our Read Aloud Time we are enjoying such books as “Skippy Jon Jones” and “How I Became a Pirate.” We also read the book, “A House for Hermit Crab” and then we enjoyed observing some real hermit crabs that had decorated “houses” like in the book. One her- mit crab’s shell was decorated like a basketball. In Math, we are concentrating on basic addition and subtraction facts. In Spelling, we are practicing our words each week using letter cards and our write’n wipe boards. When asked what we liked the most about 1 st grade this is what Mrs. Foreman’s class said: Marli – centers (and PE and art, of course), Tyler W. – recess, Blaze – spend- ing time with friends, Jakob – PE, Lauren – PE, Charley – PE, Austin – homework, Lane – learning about hermit crabs, Kara – recess, Kandyce – playground, Tyler B. – his teacher, Randi – everything, Chris – PE, Makenzie – playing games, Dakota – art, Hunter – paying attention. We are enjoying 1 st grade so far and we look forward to a busy year ahead. Mrs. Smith We have made a great start for the 2006-2007 school year.

She is Christine Sullivan and we are very fortunate to have her volunteering her help in our room each week. During the month of August we studied about the ocean. We learned many interesting things about the ocean. During the month of September we have been studying apples and getting ready for fall. We are anxious to see the leaves on the trees start to change colors. We are also getting ready for Halloween. It will be here before you know it! August birthdays belonged to Mrs. Smith, Charlie Cordell, Matthew Wicker, and Raymond Bailey, September birthdays be- longed to Kenedy Elliott and Dalilah Clements. October birthdays belong to Catrina Williams. Happy Birthday, boys and girls!
