11/2/2018 0 Comments November is here!Hello Families,
Can you believe we are in November already? Only 2 weeks until break!! The kiddos have had a fun couple of days! They were wonderful for the subs while I was out. They also have had a LOT of sugar this week, with Halloween, Jupiter Donuts, Ice Cream, ETC. Hopefully we are all back to normal eating habits next week :) We have started our Food Drive, and it is a competition!! PLEASE bring in any canned food items, nonperishable items, diapers, paper products, and/or toiletries. We could win a pizza party! Let's do this :) Thank you to everyone who came in for a conference. I enjoyed meeting with you guys and discussing your kiddo's progress. If you ever want to talk or meet with me, please let me know! I am always here for you guys. I LOVE to decorate for the holidays, and would LOVE some decoration donations :) If you have any you would like to donate to decorate for the upcoming holidays, I would GREATLY appreciate it! Our character trait this month is Citizenship, which is being law abiding and involved in service to school, community and country. We went over ways to be a good citizen. Let us encourage one another to show good citizenship! Weekly Curriculum · In Language Arts we will continue reading the text called The Year of Miss Agnes. We will look at character and main idea. · In Math we are working through multiplication using patterns to help us. They are KILLING it at multiplication! We will have a Topic 2 Test on Friday, November 9th. So make sure to review :) · In Science we will finish up studying plants. · In Writing we will use strong details in order to make our writing more meaningful. · In Social Studies we will look at Our Environment and how we use our Earth's resources. Music update by Mr. Meeks: This week we have been working on recorder and learning songs for the winter program. Please make sure that your child brings his/her recorder to school on the days they have music. Starting in November it will affect their grade in music class. First grade and Kindergarten are working on recorder notes and learning the songs for the winter program. Second grade is composing a tune to the poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas”, and third grade is hard at work learning a song on handbells. Music listened to in class: “Take the A Train” Duke Ellington; “Don’t Worry Be Happy” Bobby McFerrin A Few Reminders and Dates to Remember · Every Tuesday: Pizza money due. $2 per slice. · Every Friday: Ice cream day, $1. · Friday, November 9th: Spelling test and Reading Log and Spelling homework due. · Wednesday, November 14th, Great American Teach In. Please use the following link Great American Teach In Registration to volunteer for this event. · November 17-25: Thanksgiving Break As a reminder, please remember to pack only healthy snacks and water for your child’s snack time. Avoid cookies, candies, cakes or sweets; fruits, vegetables, pretzels, crackers etc.… are healthy alternatives. As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Have a great week!
