WEEK IN A PEEK!
November 6, 2009
Dear Parents,
THIS WEEK WE: read about leaves and the trees they come from. We made more graphic organizers as we sorted Fall leaves. They worked as a team at each table group and made their own small bar graph to show the results. Thanks for the leaves you sent. I hope you enjoyed going for that nature walk.
NEXT WEEK WE WILL: talk about Native Americans and how they helped the Pilgrims. We are working with numbers, specifically, identifying numbers to 31. Each child has a number ring here at school to help us practice. Practice at home too. Next Tuesday, we will honor veterans that have served our country. If you know a veteran you would like to invite to our Veteran’s Day assembly, please do so. There will be a reception especially for the veteran’s from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. in the library. Then at 9:00 all the students and guests will go into the gym for our assembly.
FEAST: Thank you for signing up to send an item for our Thanksgiving feast. It will be Nov. 24th from 2:30-3:20 in the afternoon. If you volunteered to help set up and serve, please be here at 2:05p.m. We will dress the part of the first thanksgiving and I am sure there will be a bountiful feast. I will send a reminder next Friday about what you signed up to bring.
Thanks in advance for your help!
FAST START: Return the the Fast Start notebook on Monday with the Friday folder. We had very close to 100% participation this past week. Your child will benefit greatly from the time you spend each evening. Remember, it is just 10 min. a night!
FALL PARTY: It was today! Thanks to our moms for working hard to get it together and make it a special time for our class!
VETERANS DAY: Tuesday, Nov. 10th Assembly in the gym at 9:00. It might be nice to wear red, white or blue.
CONGRATULATIONS: The following people have earned a coupon from Pizza Hut for meeting our reading goal the month of October! They are: Mason, Ashcroft, Sophie, Connor, Cody, Johnny, Alison, Chris, Nolan, Erin, Isaac, Markus, Marley, Kailey, Michaela, Apryl, and Alaya. A special note of congratulations goes to Kailey for reading 80 books! Thank you again for filling out the book slips and reading with your child. Also I think it would be fine to count the 10 minutes an evening as a book that you work on Fast Track. Just write Fast Track and the title of the poem!
MERIT AWARD: Marley Seaton gets our merit award this week! Congratulations!
THEME: Veterans Day,
Native Americans
Thank you,
Mrs. Donna Mountjoy
