November 17th - November 21st

What We Are Learning

Reading:  This week we learned that great readers notice and find rhyming words. We also practiced naming words that rhyme while singing a silly song. Ask your child about the Have You Ever Seen song.

Alphabet: We focused on the sounds the letters Tt, Pp, Aa, Nn, & Mm. make. We also learned that the letter Aa has more than one sound.

Writing:  We really focused on having a beginning, middle, and end to our narrative stories. We also learned that good writers go back and read what they have written.

Math: During math this week, we learned and practiced different strategies to solve subtraction problems. Next week well will start solving subtraction word problems.

Theme: We started learning about Thanksgiving.  We read several books about the Pilgrims and pretended we were on the Mayflower.  We picked several items that we would want to take on the ship.  We created a fun suitcase craft using our ideas. Ask your child what they chose to take with them on their journey to America!

Cold Weather

Cold weather is here!  Please make sure your child is properly dressed for outside recess. We will go out every day as long as the weather is 32 degrees or above and the wind-chill is 25 degrees or above. There is a strong wind that blows across the playground.  Your child needs to have a jacket so they can enjoy recess comfortably!

Wish List Items

Here are just a few items that we could use inside our classroom:

• Dry Erase Markers (thin & thick)
• Unique Pencils
• Cool Erasers
• Special Markers
• Glittery Pens

You all are always so generous! Thank you for helping our classroom run smoothly!
