Happy Thanksgiving!

We are very thankful for wonderful families like you!  

• Important News
  • Winter is coming and unfortunately that includes snow!  Please pack an extra pair of gloves and socks in your child's backpack in case they get wet.  Also, if you would like to keep an extra pair of pants and socks at school, please send them in a large ziploc bag with your child's name on it.  We will keep them in our classroom in case your child gets wet at recess and needs to change.  Thank you!
  • Dads and Donuts is on Tuesday, November 19.  Dad or a special guest may come any time between 7:45-8:45 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.
  
  
  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.  We are working on writing a book about Thanksgiving!
  
  
  Math
  Our K-5 Math Coach, Mike Lipnos, is working with our classes from now until the end of the semester.  We are working on several activities to model addition and subtraction using manipulatives up to 10.  We are also introducing the symbols +, -, =.
