November 12-16

Thank you very much for supporting our school levy!  We are so lucky to have such a wonderful community.

Important News
  • Our classes are so excited about the shoe tying contest!  We were all "tied-up" in the middle of the week, but Mrs. Gallucci's class is pulling ahead now.  It's not over yet!  Keep practicing!
  • We are switching our classes more often now as we make flexible groups for reading, writing, and more! 
  • Dads and Donuts is on Tuesday, November 20th from 7:45-8:45 am.  Dad or a special guest may join your child for a special breakfast of donuts, coffee, and juice.  Please do not leave your child unattended or in the classroom prior to 8:50 am.  Thank you!
Homework
  • Practice tying shoes and zipping coats!  Please make sure all hats, gloves, scarves, mittens, and snowpants are labeled with your child's name. 
  • Sight words
  • Counting
Language Arts
We will be reading several stories about Thanksgiving.  Our focus skill for the week is comparing and contrasting.  We will also be working on listening and writing the ending sound in words.  The students have been learning how to "chop" the words in order to hear each sound when writing. 

Math
We are working on several activities to reinforce the numerosity of five.  One of the games we will be playing will be called double compare.  The students learned how to play compare (the card game war) in a previous lesson.  In this lesson, the students will be putting down 2 cards and determining who has the higher number. 

Have a great week!
