Mrs. Barlow’s Class Please view our daily blog for information on student learning and upcoming events. 

Please check your child’s binder tonight.  They have a note about reading logs and homework.  This book may be to hard, just right, or to easy.  I will be testing the next two weeks to know which level is the best for your child.  They need to read each night and get their reading log initialed by you.  This will help their reading fluency and a quick discussion of their book with you will improve their comprehension.  They will also earn a ticket for each night they read.  I hope you enjoy this precious time with your child each night!

We had an amazing first week of school!  The students are working hard to learn all of our rules and routines at White Oak Primary!  I cannot wait for next week!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Parents,

White Oak High School will have a pep rally tomorrow.  If you are going to pick your child up and take them to the pep rally please write a note in your child’s planner or send a note.

Thank you,

Mrs. Barlow

Today was another great day! The students are learning and practicing the rules in our classroom and around the school.

Reading:  We have read several books about using manners, displaying great character traits, and building our classroom to be a TEAM!

Writing:  We were able to do a little bit of interactive writing today!  The students were able to use their dry erase tables!  We wrote “All About Me” pages and shared some of our favorite things.  Tomorrow they will write a letter to me explaining things that they want me to know about them.  I am very excited to continue to get to know each of them and all the things they enjoy!

Spelling:  We will be reviewing our first grade spelling words for the next several days.

Phonics:  The students are already making connections to words they know and applying something with that word that will help them on the new word they want to write.

Math:  We are learning how to talk through problems in our Number Talk time and problem solve during Intentional Problem Solving time.

Social Studies:  We are reviewing and practicing our CHAMPS expectations daily!

We have had two busy days!  I know it will be a great year!

Today was an amazing day!  I loved getting to know each and every one of my students!  Each child stood up with confidence to tell me something about themselves and why they matter!  I am so proud of them for knowing they make a difference in our world because they matter!

There is something in each of YOU that the world needs because YOU matter!

Enjoy our first day pictures!  Thank you for sharing your child with me!
