Have a Fabulous Thanksgiving!
I will be sending out a newsletter next week Monday. Until then, ... I hope everyone enjoys a nice relaxing Thanksgiving break! Also a huge congratulations goes out to our class for bringing in the most cans for our canned food drive. Thank you for your extreme generosity. The children are going to celebrate with a sledding party next Friday (unless the snow is gone). Thanks again and have a great Thanksgiving!

Almost Turkey Time!
I had a great week, meeting with all of you for conferences. I loved getting to know you and having the opportunity to share some of the things that we’ve been doing here at school. If at any time you have additional questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Language Arts: We have started the well known anthology “Chicken Little”. So far we have drawn a picture of our favorite scene and added a caption. We have also compared our text book version to others that we have heard before. The children also continue to work hard during writer workshop. They first wrote about a special person and now they are writing about a special place. With their writing I emphasize the importance of revising and editing.
Math: We are in unit 4. We have been practicing our multiplication facts starting with 0’s, 1’s, 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s. Besides learning our multiplication facts, we are also practicing measurement, perimeter, and even the beginning of division!
Computer Lab: We did a reading test again on the computer called the star test. Next week we will be working on some of our math skills on coolmath4kids.com
Social Studies: We are going to begin our unit of study on Rockford. We look at the history of Rockford and compare it to today.
Dates to remember:
November
26th-28th Thanksgiving vacation, no school!
December
9th Holiday music concert at RHS auditorium.
18th Christmas party
19th Last day of school before break.
Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions, comments, or concerns.

Some cute Halloween Pictures
OK, I am not the best photographer, but I did manage to snap a few shots. I will try to take more and share throughout the year. Enjoy!
