This week we are starting out our last week before Thanksgiving Break. This year seems to be flying by! Next year we have no school Monday the 19th through Friday the 23rd. I am hoping you all have a restful Thanksgiving!
Sight Words:
This week we have five new words. They are a little tricky so make sure you spend some extra time with your kiddos working on them this week. Our words are:
- the
- that
- there
- this
- they
Math:
We are continuing our work on addition this week. We included some extra credit math homework attached to your child's regular homework. It is a turkey color by addition and it is a little harder than what we have been doing in class. If your child would like to do the extra credit they are more than welcome to! It is worth 10 points which would make up for any missing assignments your kiddo might have. All homework is due after Thanksgiving Break on Monday the 26th.
Social Studies:
We are finishing up our unit on the First Thanksgiving this week. Your student should be able to talk to you about why the pilgrims came to America, who helped them when they got here, and how they celebrated. This week they are making a map that shows where the Mayflower traveled.
Book Order:
Book orders are due by this Friday. If you would like to order books as Christmas or birthday gifts, please let me know and I will send them up to the office for you to pick up.
Canned Food Drive:
Our school is nearing the end of our annual canned food drive. Our class has only gathered a few cans of food to contribute. If you have any to spare at home, we would love to take them to help out some of our families here at Vision who could use some help over the holiday season. :)
Veteran's Day:
We will be learning about Veteran's Day this week as well. As a school we are honoring a different branch of the military each day. Tomorrow your student is invited to where something white in honor of the Coast Guard. Don't feel like you have to go out and buy anything to participate!
Tuesday, November 13 - wear white to support the Coast Guard
Wednesday, November 14 - wear blue to support both the Air Force and the Navy
Thursday, November 15 - wear red to support the Marines
Friday, November 16 - wear green to support the Army
