Happy Thanksgiving

Hi Parents and families,
We've had a quick, short week but we've wrapped up our novel study which focused on Native Americans and Pilgrims. The students will finish their posters about the Delaware/Lenape tribe but I doubt that we'll get to present them to the class until next week.

When we return from the holiday break, we will pickup where we left off in our reading books and with the spelling list that accompanies that story.

Have a super Thanksgiving!

Costumes

Don't throw out those costumes yet. In the spring our class will be studying fairy tales and putting on a Fairy Tale Ball. Students will be selecting their favorite fairy tale and they'll be asked to dress the part for an exciting afternoon of role playing. You may have the perfect costume for your child or another in our class!!

Exciting News

I would like to announce our top readers for the month of October. Alexis read 815 minutes, Caitlin read 420 minutes, and Maddie read 415 minutes. Congratulations to these students! Our class as a whole read 5,115 minutes at home in the month of October which is down some from our September total. Please continue reading at home AND filling out the reading logs and turning them in each Monday.

Until Thanksgiving

Good Morning Parents and Students,
I wanted to let you know what our class will be doing with reading until Thanksgiving break. The students will be divided into 3 different groups each reading a different novel. Depending upon the book, each group will have daily assigned reading and activities to accompany that reading. I'll meet with each group daily to ensure they are completing the reading and assignments but also to monitor comprehension. Your child may or may not need to bring their novel home to finish the assigned reading.
I'm looking forward to a change from our reading book and I know the students will enjoy the novels.
Enjoy this beautiful Sunday!
