THANKSGIVING WEEK: Check our Room Mom’s online list if you would like to send in food or paper goods for our Thanksgiving party, which will be next week. We will have regular days on Monday and Tuesday and  Wednesday will be a half day.

Here is an overview of this week:

Religion: Our topic will be God gives us our senses.

Math: We will be talking about what happens in the morning,

afternoon and evening, and numbers 11-20. Please make or buy flashcards with numbers 1-20 on them for your child to practice number recognition.

Animal of the Week: Hippo and Ibex.

Social Studies: We will continue to talk about the voyage of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower and what it was like for a child to travel on that ship. We will also talk about the hardships they all endured while establishing Plymouth.

SRA READING: We will be sending home Pre-Decodable # 5 today.

We will be talking about the letters Nn,Oo,Pp,Qq and Rr. We will introduce another High Frequency Word_____on. Please have your child read their sight words EVERY day from flashcards. They will need to know 20 by the end of the year and it is best to keep them current on the words as they are introduced.

Have a great week!
