Wow! The last day of November. Where did the time go?
Please continue to help your child with their sorts as well as practicing how to spell their words. The high frequency words this week are: once, animal, life, took.
We are finishing our research about our birds and we will start to write our draft of our bird report this week.
We are starting Unit 3 in math so your child may have a different teacher for math. We will be working on measurement, time, and graphing.
We are continuing to work on our book series in reading.
We will be finishing our unit in science. We will be starting Exploring a Community in Social Studies.

This week is going to fly by with only 3 days!

I hope you all have a very relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving.

There are no spelling words this week. 

I still want the children to read and practice their facts this week and record it on their R/F sheet so it can be returned on Monday, Nov. 30.

We will also have a Y5210 this week dealing with portion sizes. I swear, I did not plan that for this week. 

A full week of school! We haven't had one for a while.
Happy Birthday Tiara on Nov. 15!
Happy Birthday Jacob on Nov. 16!
We will have our spelling test on Friday. The high frequency words this week are feet, land, side, without.
We will not have spelling words next week, since we only have 3 days.
We chose our birds for our bird research and started to look through some bird books. We worked on using the index to find the right page that our bird is on. We also discovered that some books are better than others. We will be using iPads to do research, but not this week.
We will be pretesting Unit 3 on Friday so if you know your child won't be here on Friday, please let me know so I can have them take it on Thursday. We will be post testing Unit 2 on Tuesday, Nov. 24.

I really enjoyed meeting so many of the grandparents/retired friends on Friday.
Happy Birthday Ayden! We will celebrate his birthday on Monday. (Today)
We are starting the second semester. We will be starting our informational writing this week. We will also be starting our learning about book series as well. We are continuing in Unit 2 in math.
We don't have school on Friday, November 13.
Spelling test will be on Thursday, November 12. The high frequency words this week are: important, form, food, keep. 

I want to thank all the parents for coming to your child's conference. I really enjoy working with all the children!
We will have our spelling test on Thursday, November 5 this week. If you forgot what the high frequency words for the week are, they are: asked, don't going, world.
The end of the first quarter is Friday, November 6 so there will be an 11:30 dismissal. Remember Grab and Go lunches are available on early release days.
Also Friday is Grandparents' and Retired Friends' Day. In order for your child to leave at 11:00 with their grandparent, they or their grandparent must give me the permission slip. If I don't have it, your child must stay with me until the 11:30 dismissal.
Just one more reminder: When your child has homework, please have them do it in pencil and not pen. We use pencils at school so please have your child use pencil on their homework.
