I hope you all had a wonderful weekend with family and friends. The children were so excited about Halloween and trick-or-treating! I can't wait to hear all about it. :)
During the month of November we will focus on families, being grateful, and Thanksgiving. We will read and write many stories about these topics. We will learn about families from today and families from long ago. Todd Parr is a terrific author and illustrator that will help us with our learning. We are also continuing to focus on three letters and add 'heart words' to our Word Wall each week. This week we are focusing on the letters Uu, Ll, and Yy. Our new heart words are I, me, & go!
Homework: Our November Family Project will be sent home this week. Please return all projects anytime before November 13th. Also, please send in a family picture by next Monday, November 10th. The pictures should be 4 inches x 6 inches in order to fit into our projects that we will work on at school. A weekly reading calender will also be sent home this week and every week. Please have fun reading with your child each night. 10-15 minutes is all you need! :) In addition to our reading calendar, I will also be sending home additional math and printing practice for the children. Please note that these practice pages are optional. Work at your own pace and return once they are completed.
Eagle's Silent Auction: Thank you for sending in donations for our raffle basket. Our Silent Auction is a terrific fundraising event. I hope to see you there!
American Education Week & our Scholastic Book Fair will take place the week of November 17th. Parents are welcome to join us at 12:00 on Thursday, November 20th for a classroom activity. You will also be able to visit the Book Fair at this time. A note will be sent home this week about American Education Week.
Thank you for your support as we enter into a terrific time of the year! :)
Sincerely,
Eileen Browne
