Week ending 11/11

Hello families!  I hope you all enjoy this long weekend and take advantage of all that Fall has to offer.
Important information:

  • Thank you SO much to the families who donated books to the classroom!  We have received a bunch of new chapter books and read aloud!  We already started reading some today...we read The Cookie Fiasco and Enemy Pie.  I can't wait to read the others as well.  Thank you for your generosity.
  • On Thursday, we had a school wide visit from the Tanglewood Marionette company.  They are always so engaging and interesting!
  • Wednesday, November 23rd, is early dismissal.  Dismissal is at 12:00 (not 12:30). Please plan accordingly.  
  • Thursday and Friday, November 24 and 25th, there is no school.  

3, 2, 1 things you should know about our week...
3 features of non-fiction we have been working on identifying this week are diagram, captions, and glossaries.  * Ask you child about the other non-fiction text features we've covered and their purpose.  

2 math skills we've been working on are telling time to the half hour consistently and accurately and sharing ideas on why we need to learn how to tell time on an analog clock. * Ask your child why we need to know how to tell time on an analog clock.  

1 writing skill we continue to work on is editing and revising our work.  Many of us have finished our first pieces of writing by adding more talking, thinking, feelings, details, and describing words.  Many have started writing a final copy.  * Ask your child which story they are going to publish?
