Weekly News

A big thank you to everyone for meeting with me!  It is always fun to share the many accomplishments that I see each day with your children!

Last week, we started talking about Pilgrim and Native Americans.  We have been learning more about the first thanksgiving and more about what life was like if we lived in those times.  It has been fun listening to the conversations of everyone.  One big shock the children had was how there wasn't a car or tv around.  :)

Our writing is moving right along.  We continue to focus on trying to write using a main idea and supporting details.  Next week, we will be taking a break from narrative writing and we will be working on learning how to write an informative story (a story with facts) using Pilgrims and Native Americans as our topic.

Last Friday I sent home the November and December book order fliers.  There are some wonderful titles available if you are interested in ordering.  These orders will be sent in at the end of the day tomorrow (Friday the 21st).  If you choose to order any of these and would like to keep them a surprise, just let me know and I can either wrap them in a paper bag to come home or we can find a time for you to come pick them up.

Since next week is a short week we are going to focus on learning about all things Thanksgiving.  We have some fun activities planned for the week so I look forward to sharing with you some great photos.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving break!
