Week of November 15th

Welcome to another wonderful week of school!
On Tuesday, November 23rd, the school has a Thanksgiving Feast. Each grade brings in a different feast item and this year we have dressing. We need each student to bring in at least one prepared box of dressing that Tuesday morning. If you can make more that would be greatly appreciated.
It is starting to get cold outside and that means it is sweater season! Sweaters and sweatshirts that are acceptable in the classroom are solid red, navy blue or white. If your student wears a different color not in dress code they may wear it outside but not in the classroom. Please label your student’s sweater or jacket. If it goes missing it is much easier to find if it is labeled with a first and last name.
This week I am attaching a cornucopia to color and fill with different fruits and vegetables that you can find in magazines and newspapers. We will use these to decorate our room for the Thanksgiving Feast.
This week homework will go home today, Monday, and is due on Friday. We are working on writing words that we are learning to sound out in phonics. Please make sure that your student can sound out the words and tell you what they are. Blending can be a tough skill for some students so be patient with your child. Some fun games to play to help with this are letter Bingo or a game we call “Flyhunter.”
Also please count with your student every night. Our next goal to count to without skipping any numbers is 50. Please also review what the teen numbers look like, these are often a challenge for students.
I am looking forward to a great week!
