Weekly Update Nov. 18-22,2019
Important information: Outside recess is 30 minutes long. The children go out to play as long as the temperature is around 40 degrees and dry. Please be sure to have your child sent with hats, gloves and scarves so they will be comfortable during recess. If you are having difficulty getting any of these items (even a winter jacket) please don’t hesitate to contact me.

We are beginning a new story this week, so there will be a new spelling list tonight. Check for corrections and have your child write them each night this week for homework. Continue to practice reading the H.F.W. list each night. (Blue notebook) Also, there may be some leveled reading books coming home for extra practice with your child. These books are intended to give your child more practice on their current success level. Five minutes of reading usually will be all that they need. Contact me if you have any questions.

We are working on addition and subtraction with Fact Families, in Unit 3. We reached our goal of sums to 20 in spring math, this past Friday. The new goal is subtraction from 9, I got it wrong last week when I said it would be fact families.

I have two volunteers for the cinnamon ornament project for Friday, Dec. 6th. I would like to have one more if anyone is still considering it. Plus, there is only one for Mon., Dec. 9th. Send a note if you can make it for either day or both.

When we begin December, we will be discussing folk tales. We will be focusing on The Gingerbread Man. If you have any copies at home that we may borrow, for about two weeks, that would be great! Don’t send them in until after the Thanksgiving Break. It’s ok if they have been loved so much that they are tattered or drawn in, as long as you are able to read the words.
