Hello Friends!!

Happy Rainy Monday!!!

We are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving.  This week instead of having math homework in our Practice Books students will be completing a Thanksgiving Dinner project.  All information and worksheets they need will be passed out today (Monday November 13th).  Please have the students complete this fun exercise and return to school on Friday November 17th. 

This week we are learning:

ELA: Beginning our story: Ugly Vegetables.  We will be working with double consonants and CK (our spelling words), proper nouns, homophones and building our fluency strategies

MATH: Continuing chapter 3, adding and subtracting digits (break a-parts, fact families,  and regrouping/borrowing)

RELIGION: Jesus is our Savior and also what it means to give thanks 

SOCIAL STUDIES/SCIENCE: Discussing the First Thanksgiving, Pilgrims and Native Americans.  We will also continue our discussion on germs and how to fight colds,

Saint for the month of November: Saint Kateri of Tekawitha 

Thank you all for all you do!  Stay warm and enjoy your week ahead!  = )
