We have learned so much this week! We learned about the letter A and started our first word family-- -at words. We worked on -at words almost every day, doing crafts, centers, reading books, and creating our own list of -at words. We also learned about the color word green, and we made Green Eggs and Ham on Tuesday! In math, we have been learning about 1 and 2 more than, few than, and the same as. We also started adding words to our stories in writer's workshop, and I was so impressed with how well the kids did sounding out the words! WOW--Can you believe we packed so many new things into one week?! Way to go, students, for doing such a great job with so much new information!
Next week we will be learning about the letter V and the word "to." We will finish up unit 4 in math and do some Thanksgiving activities. The week of Thanksgiving, we will taking our unit 4 math test and learning about the word "purple." We will doing lots of Thanksgiving crafts and activities, and our feast will be that Wednesday!
Notes and reminders:
--I will be typing up our Thanksgiving Feast list and sending it out later today. Don't forget to send in your items on or before Wednesday, November 24! Thanks to all who volunteered--we are going to have tons of great things for the kids to eat!
--Just a reminder that there is no school on Thursday and Friday, November 25 and 26.
--You may have noticed that your kids have not been bringing library books home until Friday. This is a new process for me, and I have learned that I simply cannot get the books checked in and new ones checked out on Fridays in time to have the kids take them home the same day. So books are still due on Fridays, but we will not be checking out new ones until Mondays. Hopefully that is okay with everyone!
--Data folders and report cards came home today. Make sure to check the goal progress sheet and the running record score in the middle of the folder. If you have any questions about any of it, you can email me or write it on the comments section on the paper inside the folder. Just a reminder--the folders need to be sent back with the papers taken out of the pocket. Sign and return the paper inside the pocket as well as the empty report card envelope. The folder, signed paper, and envelope are all due by Wednesday, November 17. Thanks for your cooperation on this and let me know if you have questions!
--Keep sending in your Sunny D labels! We only need 6 more to earn our free books! The school is also having a contest to see which class in each grade can send in the most Box Tops and Campbell's soup labels, so make sure you are saving those and sending them in!
--I sent home our December book order today. These will be due on Friday, December 3 to make sure we get the order back before Winter Break. The online ordering code is GMXHN. Remember, ordering online earns free books for our classroom!
Have a great weekend and enjoy the last of this beautiful weather!
