With Thanksgiving tomorrow, I wanted to say thanks to the parents of my students. Thanks for your support in what we learn in our classroom by helping out with homework at home, sending snacks for the entire class, going on field trips and caring for your child. Thank you for all that you do!
The students just finished their Thanksgiving Essays and we shared them aloud with the class. They were so wonderful! Students were told to take home a copy to share with their family on Thanksgiving, so ask your child about their Thanksgiving Essay. It's also on their Google Drive in case they "can't find" their essay. : )
In math, we are working on decimals and will soon find ourselves working with the decimal counterpart--FRACTIONS!
Word study is still a work in progress and students will have only 10 words for the next cycle.
The state project guidelines will be coming home in January. Students are free to read about their state now, request literature from their state's tourism bureau, or conduct other research. I'm not collecting or requiring anything at this time.
The Holiday Mug Exchange slips have gone home this week. Please read and sign the slip regarding our classroom gift exchange.
Over our Thanksgiving Break, we are having a Thanksgiving Reading Challenge. Students are being asked to read as much as they can over break. We are truly hoping for 100% participation. Look for your child's gold slip.
I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving and remember all that you are thankful for. I feel very blessed.
