Welcome, Holiday Season!

 

The next three weeks will go faster than any other 3 weeks in the school year. We will be doing our regular math, reading and writing as well as studying Holidays and traditions from around the world. I will be sending home a family assignment that will involve your child and you discussing your family traditions during this time of year. I hope you will enjoy doing the activity with your child. Also, thanks to Ms. Reeve, we will be creating a Holidays around the world book to keep. We will also spend some time learning about motion in science as well as preparing for our holiday performance. We have a lot to do in just 3 short weeks. It's going to be a wonderful time!!
Have a super week!

It's all gravy.......

So here we are! One week and a few days shy of Thanksgiving break. We are looking forward to that, of course. But, we have a lot to do this week. We will be finishing up our study on suffixes, prefixes and we will spend a good amount of time on the history of Thanksgiving. On Tuesday, the 22nd, we will be having a Turkey feast at the school and need donations of canned gravy to contribute to the meal. Please have your child bring in a can if you can afford it. Don't forget that Friday, the 18th, the school is having a Mexican Fiesta featuring a dinner for purchase and Mariachi music. We are excited about it! Please join us!
Mark your calendars because our break begins on the 23rd. No after school that day. Have a super week!

Week 13? What?!

  How lucky was I to find this picture? Bats and the number 13.Anyway, this past week we learned some things about bats. For instance, they are not really totally blind and they vary in their food tastes. We had a good time learning about them. We were even able to try out our new projector while watching a film about the little guys.
    This week, we will be learning about the human skeleton. I'm hoping to have a chiropractor friend come in and tell us more! We are also working on digraphs, suffixes, and lines of symmetry.
    We did some awesome list making this week of things that we would like to write about so we will be doing some of that!
     Please remember there is no school on Friday, November 11th in honor of Veteran's Day. Also, very important: Art orders are due by Tuesday the 8th. Please get them in. We've had a very good response from everyone and are looking forward to doing it again next year if all goes well. Have a super 4 day week!
