Happy November! I don't know about you but I am beginning to catch the holiday bug that comes with this time of year! Crisper air, growing first graders, and lots of excitement! Here's what is in store for our short Veteran's holiday week...
Math: This week we will look at subtraction and relating facts to fives, tens and doubles. We love working with numbers like fives and tens!
Language Arts: In Hartcourt we will continue to read our story "Where Do Frogs Come From?" which teaches us the lifecycle of a frog. Last week we had so much fun reading many Anansi stories. He is a very tricky spider with many funny stories. We also decided to read "Enemy Pie" and make friendship pies for our bulletin board. They turned out really cute, feel free to stop by and check them out! This week we will get to Hansel and Gretel, since we ran out of space in our busy days to tend to them last week. Then it will be on to Frog and Toad.
Science: We did not get to do as much science as we wanted last week, with halloween and a bit of switching with our schedule. However, the students did have a lot of fun learning about the digestive system. This week we will add the digestive system to our body bags.
Social Studies: Learning about the first Thanksgiving continues. The students will be studying about the contributions of the Wampanoag people and the struggles of the Pilgrims.
Don't Forget...
Monday is our Thanksgiving family luncheon. Lunch is at 11:35 but I suggest showing up a few minutes early to park and pay. Please do not send money with your child, the cafeteria will not be taking prepayments.
There is NO SCHOOL this Friday, November 10th in honor of Veterans Day. Thank you to all who have served!
Parent University: I want to take the time to personally invite and encourage all my families to attend this very important and informative night. The teachers here at Marshall really feel that of all nights, Parent University is one of the most beneficial nights you can attend to build a partnership with us here at school to promote your child's learning. Every parent that has ever attended has only said positive things about their evening spent with us here at school, about how much they learned to help their children at home, and how much they better understand what is happening here at school! This is our goal, and I want you to be a part of it. Please make plans to join us on Wednesday, November 15th from 5:00-7:15. The best part of the night is you do not have to worry about cooking or what to do with your kiddos because we provide dinner and child care! It's almost like date night, or a night off! Woo hoo! Dinner will be held in the gym from 5-5:30, followed by break out sessions that you can sign up for. This flyer went home with your child last week. If you need another, please write me a note in the agenda communication log and I will get it to you immediately. If you are planning on attending please fill out your form and send it in to me ASAP. I look forward to seeing each and every family there!
