I have some exciting news for you! Our class filled the BIG bucket of fuzzies for the first time this year and the children have voted on their prize....a class pet! Tomorrow morning, we will welcome a new member to our class family. Before we voted on our reward, each child agreed to be responsible for the care of our new friend. I will keep you updated on this exciting new adventure.
Speaking of family, we have our THANKSGIVING FEAST coming up on Thursday, November 15th. A note should have gone home in your child's red folder detailing what your child wanted to contribute. I hope to see many of you there, as we celebrate our thankfulness :)
Here's what to look forward to in the curriculum this week:
Reading: Students will be comparing and contrasting stories using graphic organizers.
Words to know:
girl
boy
together
when
people
care
water
Grammar: Identifying past and present tense verbs.
Phonics: "s" blends (strap, string, scram) and "Bridge e" (same, tile, use, note, Pete)
Identifying syllables.
Social Studies: Students will study the history of Thanksgiving and show their gratitute to others through writing.
Math: Students will continue exploring measurements and composing/decomposing numbers.
Writing: Students will use a graphic organizer to begin writing and revising a personal narrative.
Reminders and Announcements:
- Please turn in the bottom half of the Thanksgiving letter in your child's Red Folder on Monday, Nov. 12th.
- Remember to have your child keep track of the books they are reading (or you are reading together) for our monthly "Book It" challenge! If they reach 20 books they will receive a sticker and a free pizza from Pizza Hut.
- Keep studying the spelling words each week!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Peake
