Hello! As I type this I can’t believe how fast this year is going! It’s already Thanksgiving week! I’m looking forward to time with friends and family, and I hope you are too. Last week, the children brainstormed all the things they are thankful for. I know I am thankful for a great year of learning we are having!
Before we head out on Wednesday, here’s what we will be up to in class:
Language Arts
- Reading our favorite Thanksgiving books and singing Thanksgiving songs
- Doing some “Reader’s Theatre” where children act out poems and familiar stories
- Reviewing letters and sounds (we will finish up our last three weeks of Fundations Unit 1 after Thanksgiving)
Math
- Number representations and math games
Science
- Seasonal Changes
Social Studies
- Family traditions
- The story of Thanksgiving (Now and then)
Some Reminders:
- Report Cards for term 1 go out on Tuesday, November 22. The grading system is number based and reflects what the child can do independently at this point in the year. It does not correlate with a traditional letter grading system.
- Library is back on Wednesdays! Please help your child to remember to return their book! If they have 2 books out, they will not be able to take out another book!
- Wednesday, November 23 is a half-day. Dismissal for all students is at 11:30 a.m.
Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble! Gobble!
Ms. Purdin
