November is a short month for school days but full of learning. Hold on!!!! November is going to fly by.
We began November with celebrating a birthday. Hip hip hooray for turning 6! Great and fun things will happen to our friend this year.
This is a review week in reading to stop and catch a breath. Use your evenings this week to work on word wall words that are difficult for your child. Be sure to check your white binder. Two reading groups had homework this weekend.
In math, we will be working on numbers 6-9. We will be concentrating on making sets, counting one to one correspondence and drawing the numeral.
On Monday, you will receive a grade level t-shirt form. This is an optional t-shirt that can purchased and worn every Tuesday with blue jeans. If interested, you must turn in the form with payment on Tuesday, November 8. There is only one chance to purchase this t-shirt and that is on Tuesday of this week. If you do not purchase the t-shirt then regular uniform clothing will be worn on Tuesdays.
Monday is Nancy's Italian Ice for $1.00 and library day.
Book orders are due on Tuesday. I will place the order Tuesday night and books should be back in time for Thanksgiving.
There is no school on Friday in observance of Veteran's Day. Enjoy your three day weekend. A special THANK YOU to our military families for the sacrifices they make for our freedom!
Please continue to save egg cartons and toilet tissue rolls . We are good with paper towel rolls. Please send them in as you collect them.
Next week is American Education Week. On Wednesday, November 16, the children may come to school dressed up as their future careers. I know how busy families can be so I wanted to give you plenty of time to listen to your child's ideas and create his/her dream job.
Also during American Education Week, I will allow the children to bring one of their favorite story books to school. I will take time during the day to read their book. I will send home a schedule on Wednesday with the day your child can bring a book to school to share. Please try to follow this schedule and remember to send a book. Your child's book will come home the same day it is brought to school. Happy Reading!!!
We are getting quite the collection of poems in our poetry notebook. Our poem last week was preparing us for Thanksgiving (and multiple meanings). That poem was full of fun rhyming words and a treat to act out. Be prepared for a new poem this Thursday.
Tuesday night is Pizza and the PTA. The PTA extended the pizza ordering until Monday. If you are reading this on Sunday and you did not pre-order, send me an email and I will reply with the order form attached. There will be pizza for sale on a first come, first served basis if you were unable to pre-order. See you at the meeting at 6:00 on Tuesday.
Last week, several curriculum items were delivered to our classroom in large boxes. So I pulled out one of my favorite books, "Not a Box." I read it to the children and being the smart friends they are, they quickly picked up on the idea of using your imagination with empty boxes. If you enter our classroom and see our growing collection of "not boxes" you will know why.
