What a wonderful school we have!

October 19, 2020
It is beginning to look a lot like Halloween in 1C! The boys and girls used adjectives in their writing titled, "My Ghost", to go along with their ghost projects. We also wrote about what we see on Halloween. The students learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin and did a sequencing activity. We even brought the pumpkin patch to SMM on Thursday and the students were able to pick their own pumpkin! Then we came up with six adjectives to describe our pumpkins - some students even named their pumpkin! We tasted pumpkin seeds and labeled the inside of a pumpkin. The students were excited to carve and dissect their new pumpkin! Happy decorating!

In this week's Friday folder, you will find your child's Star Early Literacy Test results. It is for your reference to keep at home. You do not need to sign and return them. Also in your child's Friday folder you will find our "1st grade and 2nd grade Grading Scale". Please keep this for your reference. I thought this would be helpful for you to have as the children's graded tests and assignments come home.
This coming week we will return to our Reading anthology book and begin Unit 2 Lesson 6. Please be sure to practice reading with your child each evening. A simple 10-15 minutes a day can make a big difference in their reading skills.
We are having our Parent/Teacher conferences this year on Zoom. They are scheduled for Thursday,10/22 from 4-8 pm, and on Monday, 10/26 from 1-5 pm. If you have a scheduling conflict with those times or days, please email me and we will schedule a time that is convenient for you. Each conference will be about 10-15 minutes in length. When it is your scheduled time, please know that other parents will be in the Zoom waiting room, and I will have to have to keep to the 10-15 minute time frame. With that in mind, it may be best to write down any questions that you have for me so that I can address them. Please look in this week's SMM School newsletter email for a link to sign up for our class conferences. I look forward to Zooming with you!
Graded papers that come home, ONLY need to be signed and returned if they are stamped with a Sign & Return stamp. For example, a grade of 70 or below will have a stamp and return on it. If the stamp is crossed out, no need to sign it. Thank you.
The children will be celebrating a "Halloween Get Together" on Friday, 10/30, and on Monday, 11/2, with their 8th grade buddies. This is in place of a Halloween parade. The children will NOT wear costumes. I will send more information home as the dates get closer.
Enjoy your week, and and thank you for your continued support!
Have a wonderful week!

Dear Parents,
The Diocese of Wilmington has requested that we assemble Blizzard Packets for the students as we approach the winter months. Dr. Lou DiAngelo, our superintendent, feels it is very important for students to complete school assignments if or when we experience snow days. To eliminate calendar changes and make up days, each student will be required to complete five days of assignments for each subject area.
Blizzard Packets are designed so that each child will complete one day of assignments when a snow day interrupts our schedule. Students will be held accountable for these packets and assignments will be collected and graded. Blizzard Packet assignments are due back to school one week after the snow day. For example, if school is closed due to snow on a Wednesday, the Day 1 assignments will be due back to school the following Wednesday. If school is cancelled again on Thursday, Day 2 assignments will be due back to school the following Thursday and so on.
This year, in an effort to reduce printing costs, the Blizzard Packets will be available electronically on the class webpage. It is recommended that you print out the assignments in advance of inclement weather. If you are unable to print the Blizzard Packet on your own please let me know.
Thank you as always for your support.
Mary Jane Kealey, Emily Brunner, & Andrea Rossi

1. Please remember to check the green folder and Homework Organizer daily. Review, check, correct, and initial your child's homework each evening.
2. Please check Friday Folders each week and sign and return any stamped tests in the same folder on Monday.
3. Please send a note if there will be a change in the established dismissal schedule. You can also call the school office. Do not rely on emails as I may not have a chance to check this throughout the day.
4. Please label all of the children's items with their full names and 1C including clothing, lunch boxes, water bottles, etc.
