Students learned:
*What the setting of the story is
*We read “popcorn” words quickly
*How to look at the picture clue (Eagle Eye) to help figure out how to read words
*How to use the picture clue with the first letter (Lips the Fish) of the word to help us read the words correctly.
*We stretch out the sounds (Stretchy Snake) to read the words
We are writing “like a scientist.” This week we wrote about turkeys. We due pictures accurately, stretched our labels, and practiced writing using 5-Star writing in our sentences.
5-Star Writing
*capital at the beginning
*spaces between words
*sentences make sense
*print “the school way”
*correct punctuation at the end
We finished up learning to write the numbers 6-10 “the school way”. Use your practice sheet you received at conferences to help your child remember to print them correctly.
We also worked with our 2-D shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle) and reviewed the attributes for each shape.

Homework is due on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21 due to Thanksgiving break!
Please remember to have your child use a pencil, write neatly, and fix errors before returning to school. We need to practice correctly so that correct answers stick in our brains.
Friday, December 1
For Christmas this year, our class will be doing a holiday book exchange. I will send home more details right after Thanksgiving. Please do not purchase anything until you get the note.
I will be sending home the December magazines at the end of November. This will give us time for delivery in case you want to purchase books for gifts.
WINTER GEAR
*Update: Please start sending hats and gloves daily! Only send snow pants and snow boots if there is a lot of snow on the ground. It is time to start practicing putting on snow gear at home. Please remind children how to….
- Put pants on first
- Put on jackets
- Put on boots
- ZIP BEFORE MITTENS
When taking winter gear off, students are told to….
- Put your mittens in your hat
- Put your hat in your sleeves
- Put your coat on the hook
Please remember to LABEL all winter gear with your child’s name. Please practice dressing and zipping at home as we expect students to be independent at dressing in winter gear. Please remind your child NOT to share winter gear with friends….we have had some issues with lice at Alward school already, and I would LOVE to keep them out of our classroom and your children’s hair.
