Thanksgiving Feast

I just wanted to let you all know that I won't be able to eat with your children in the cafeteria for our Thanksgiving Day Feast tomorrow! My grandmother passed away and the funeral is tomorrow. I am sad to miss the special lunch with them. We already worked hard on our place mats last week and they are ready to be used for the lunch! They came out adorable. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Studying Characters

In Reader's Workshop we have been working hard at studying characters! We are learning to notice all that a character does in a story to get to know them as well as to help us in retelling! We are learning to use time order words to retell a story and have retold to a reading buddy. We will continue to do a lot with studying characters and character traits over the coming weeks. 

Parent Visitors!

Here are some wonderful pictures of you with your children during American Education Week in our classroom!

Watch the Morning News!

Our school will be featured for the "eye opener" shout out on Channel 5 tomorrow morning at 6:00! The whole school came into the gym to form the number 100 (for our birthday) and waved and gave a shout out! Our class was forming the angle part of the top of the number 1. I am sure that this will be a fast view, so you might want to DVR it!

Permission Slips Needed Tomorrow!

Hello!
We got the permission slips for a last minute school field trip to see the float that represents our school in the Thanksgiving parade! Our class is going in the morning around 9:30. Please send back the slip tomorrow morning if you would like your child to attend. Thank you so much!

Veterans Day Activities

 This week we learned about what a veteran is, and why we celebrate Veterans Day. The students created adorable soldiers and wrote one adjective to describe a veteran. They worked with partners to write facts under the headings of "Are, Can, Have" about Veterans as well. We lined the hallway outside our room (along with Ms. Waterman's classroom) with these cute little soldiers. The hallway looks amazing! Special thanks to Mrs. Winsper for putting the video together that is in the post underneath this one. Check it out and turn up the volume! Here are a few pictures of the soldiers that our class made. 

Happy Veterans Day!!!
