The week of Nov. 8-12

 What a beautiful weekend!  It was so nice to get outside and enjoy it!

Look for Book Fair ewallet info. coming home in your child's folder.

I am sending home the Veteran's Day info. letter if you have someone in your family that you'd like for your child to write a letter to and thank for their service.  Please send it back to school by Thursday, Nov. 11.  

Turkey disguise!  The turkey disguise is due back this Friday, Nov. 12.  Your child can choose to cut it out if they want or leave it on the paper.  Have fun getting creative with items from home to disguise it!

Late Start Wednesday!  I needed to ask for their lunch choices for Wednesday, so we have to stick with that choice.  I will let those of you know if your child chose home lunch and don't always bring it daily.

Phonics--Today we began learning about l-blends at the beginning of words like:  bl, fl, pl, gl, cl, sl with short vowels in the middle.  We also know that when we hear a /k/ sound following a short vowel, it is a -ck.   

New high-frequency words:  many, thing, you, these

Another new skill we have in this Phonics' unit is possessives-'s.

I have taught it before, but we have a lesson on it this week.

Math --Our chapter 3 math test was Friday.  I had two kids gone, so will send it home after I've had a chance to give it to them when they both return.  They all did well on it!  There were a few challenging concepts on it.

We began chapter 4 over subtraction from 20 today.  We will be using those doubles we've learned, number lines, and manipulatives as our strategies.

Coming up!

Nov. 10.   Late start day--10:30 arrival

Nov. 12.   CCE Spirit Wear Day

Nov. 18.    Scott's class visits the book fair!  The ewallet is a great cashless payment option for your child so it doesn't get lost enroute!

Nov. 20.    Winter Wonderland--9-noon

Nov. 24-26.  Thanksgiving Break
