The Week of November 27th
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and long weekend.
In Literacy we will continue with our Happily Ever After series with the introduction of the story, La Tortuga. The students will practice following directions as they mark things in their little storybook.
We will be introduced to the letter Jj. Students will work on letter identification, formation, and the letter sound. They will watch ABC Mouse and Captain Sea Salt for letter Jj.
In Religion, we wil lcontinue learning about God's gifts and will talk about the gift of birds and fish. We will talk about how we can all do our part to take care of these gifts. We will sing and participate in the Creation song. We will also start talking about Advent and will work on our angels for our hallway Advent Calendar.
In Math, we will work on Unit 3 on Simple Patterns. This week the children will create their own AB patterns, using their connecting cubes and crayons and shapes. They will also be able to copy simple AB patterns.
Just a reminder that snack should be in a separate bag placed in your child's lunch box, along with their lunch food, including a drink for both.
If your child has food allergies, please bring in a bag with a few special safe treats for them to eat if we should have a birthday celebration. Thank you so much for your help with this.
Stephen will be our Star of the Week. We can not wait to learn more about Stephen.
Reminders: PLEASE NOTE:
**Scholastic Book Orders are due by November 29th online. Thank you.
There is no hot lunch on Friday, December 1, due to the Christmas Fair set up.
