Today we counted our 50th day in school! We are about a third of the way done, I can not believe it. And then on the other hand I can! The kids have grown so much in 50 days, they are reading, writing, and starting to add numbers! It is so fun to watch them grow.


Coming Up:

Sunday, November 20th, 11 am: Harvest Dinner at Faith Baptist Church

Thank you!

I appreciate everyone who was able to donate to such a wonderful cause, Operation Christmas Child. My heart was warmed as students happily filled the boxes and prayed over them. 

This week will be a light week, we will have fun making graphs, completing out Thanksgiving day book, making crafts, and writing about turkey's. Tuesday afternoon we are going to do a craft and have some treats. If you would like to donate any treats let me know! I'm thinking of having pie and whip cream in the spirit of Thanksgiving!

This week we got a lot accomplished!

Literacy-

We continued to work on breaking sounds up and putting sounds together. We will continue to work on this all year. We also had our first spelling test! They did great, thank you for all the hard work you do at home with them. In writing and reading we have been focusing on how sentences begin with a capital and end with a period and how periods tell us to stop!

Math

In math, we have been talking a lot about how numbers beyond 10 are made up of 10 and some more. For example, 11 is 10 and 1 more. This is a foundational step later on as they begin to add and subtract.

Writing

Kids will begin to finish up their all about me books after Thanksgiving and we will have our Writers Celebration! During our handwriting without tears we finished our capital letters! Now on to lowercase.

Bible

Next week in Bible we will continue to talk about Thanksgiving. This is the first time many of the students are hearing about the first Thanksgiving, so it is fun to talk to them about it. I love that we get to talk about how the pilgrims left England because they couldn't worship God as they wanted, and how they brought their Bibles and prayed on the Mayflower.

Extra Notes:

I know Thanksgiving isn't even done yet, but I thought I should get a head start on Christmas. For our half day Dec. 16th before break, we will be having a party. If you would like to come help please let me know! Thank you!

Our OMSI field trip is scheduled for Tuesday, January 24th. If you would like to volunteer I wanted to get out information early.

Have a great weekend!
