Hi Everyone,
Our Field Trip was wonderful! We walked through the park, explored the trails, examined the artifacts in Frogshackle cabin, enjoyed our lunch, played in the park, and attended the apples program. Please ask your child all about our day, if he/she is not already asleep! :)
Turkey of the Year:
Turkey of the Year voting continued today, and will go on for the next few Fridays! Your child must read to vote for the staff member he/she would like to see come to school dressed in a turkey suit. One hour of reading equals one vote. Each Friday, please sign and return that week's voting slip, which came home in last week's Thursday folder. If you lost the voting slips, please write a note to indicate how many hours your child read during the previous week, sign it, and send it to school on Friday.
American Education Week:
Please mark your calendar for our American Education Week celebration on Thursday, November 16th from 10:45 - 11:30 am in our classroom. Students will present the ABC's of Thanksgiving. Our lunch is immediately following the ABC's of Thanksgiving, and you may stay to have lunch with your child after our event. For your planning purposes, our lunch is from 11:32 - 12:02. If you're staying for lunch, please plan to say goodbye to your child in the cafeteria at the end of our lunch period. Our regular instructional day will resume right after lunch. Please check yesterday's Thursday folder for your child's speaking part, and for additional details about this event.
Next Week's Homework and Sound of the Week:
Due to our short week next week, we will not have new sight words or written homework. We will review previously learned sight words.
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
Savey is away again! He went to a camp near Blacksburg last weekend as a camper; this weekend he returns as a volunteer staff member. Jonah is pretending to be an only child. :)
Don't forget...the kids don't have school Monday or Tuesday due to Teacher Work Days. Enjoy the long weekend!

Due to our short week next week, we will not have new sight words or written homework. We will review previously learned sight words.
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
- Reading: We will talk about the reasons authors write books: to persuade, to inform, and to entertain. This is called the "author's purpose". We will begin our Word Detectives unit, in which we learn strategies for solving tricky words.
- Writing: We will respond to writing prompts and self-chosen topics as we continue to practice capitalization, punctuation, spacing, and letter formation.
- Math: We will continue our addition unit. We will learn strategies for quickly solving addition facts.
- Social Studies: We will learn about the significance of Veteran's Day and prepare for our Pinebrook Veteran's Day celebration. We will begin to prepare for the ABC's of Thanksgiving.
