It's beginning to look a lot like winter!

It is chilly outside in the morning! Please send your child with a coat. If they need one for in the classroom it should be red, navy blue or white with minimal writing on it. Names inside the jacket would be great too. They all start to look alike!
Please continue to contribute to our canned food drive and jacket drive if you can. It will benefit our school families as well as the entire community.
New spelling words this week. Study, Study!!
Soon we will be starting a Holiday project. Look for instructions to come soon. Your student will need a little help from you and a poster board!
Have a super week!

Corn! Corn! Corn!

     Happy turkey time everyone!  This week will be full as it will be our only complete week until we return from Thanksgiving break.  We will be studying the pilgrims and the native americans that came before them. We will also be thinking and talking about what we are thankful for. We are trying to build a gratitude tree in our classroom.
     Please donate canned corn if you can this week. We are in charge of providing it for the Thanksgiving feast that will take place here at the school on Tuesday, the 23rd of November. Looking forward to all of the yummy food!!
     You may notice in the homework packets this week some math involving carrying. We will study it in class everyday starting Tuesday. However, please feel free to work with your child on this process as much as you feel appropriate. Don't get to the frustration point. I am trying to identify just how much they already know in regards to this process.
     Spelling words are remaining the same as last week's words.  We had very little time to work with them and it showed on the test. Let's try it again and get those words down!!
      Have a super week!!

Thanks to our wonderful Veterans!!

I hope you had an awesome weekend. The cooler temperatures are upon us and it is feeling great outside at play time!  Last week we had a good return rate for our homework packets. Good job kids! This week you will find your spelling words attached as well.
Remember there is no school on Thursday. It is Veteran's Day and we are thankful for all of their service.
Our field trip to the Children's Museum is on Friday. We will be leaving the school by 9:30 and welcome any other volunteers who would like to join us. The cost for you  and your child is $4.50 and you can meet us there or ride on our bus. We will be going with Ms. Rios' class.  Remember to pack a lunch for yourself and your child.
Check the LaPaloma Lakeside link for more info on the home page. There is a Pizza night at Peter Piper's tomorrow!!!
Have a super week!
