The kids writing this week has been phenomenal as well. We combined some science and social studies topics found in our Weekly Readers and then expanded upon what we learned through our writing. In Math we have been reviewing teen numbers. Teen numbers are hard to grasp. We are still working on counting a set of objects in the teens and creating or matching an equal set. Next week, we will spend a couple more days on this as well and then we will move on to simple addition when the students are ready. In writing next week, we will be focusing on conventions and sentence writing. We will really be working on starting each sentence with an upper case letter, putting appropriate spaces between words, and then ending the sentence with a punctuation mark. Our theme for the next two weeks will be Indians, Pilgrims, and Thanksgiving. We have several fun and exciting projects planned for our "theme time" over the next two weeks! Our spelling words next week will be my, with, and, go. Please be practicing these words with your student at home throughout the week!
I have Scholastic Book Orders for November, but I'm only going to send them home upon request. Since we just had the Book Fair, I was unsure how many families would be interested in ordering. If you would like a book order, email me and I will send one home with your child on Monday or you are welcome to go online and order. Our class code is GNMDD. I would like to have all orders in by Tuesday the 11th so books will be in by Thanksgiving Break. I will also be sending December book orders home before break as well so we can be sure to get those books in before Christmas.
I have your child's school pictures in as well and will be sending those home on Monday.
Important Dates for November:
10th- Veteran's Day Assembly 1:45
Art Walk from 6:30-8
11th- Book Orders Due
19th- Super Tiger Assembly

I think that's all for now! Have a great weekend and I hope to see you at the Art Walk!
