We have now completed our first school week of November!:)  Again, I really appreciated talking with all of you at parent/ teacher conferences.  These are so rewarding and helpful for me as your child’s teacher.  Remember, if there is ever a question or concern, I am a simple email away! 🙂

We are moving along nicely with both Math and ELA modules.  Next week, we will begin adding 3 addends in Math!  I am also continuing to really practice those Math facts.

Our next ELA Knowledge module is about different lands, but similar stories.  The first three stories are about good people who are treated unfairly and ultimately find 

happiness, set in France, Egypt, and Ireland. The next three stories are folktales about small (thumb sized) characters. from England, Denmark, and Japan. The last three stories (from Germany, China, and Botswana) are all folktales about cunning animals who try to trick children.  These stories always bring smiles to the students as they truly are interesting and funny.  🙂

Reminders:

-Our field trip to see “Clifford, the Big Red Dog” at the Marathon Center for Performing Arts is on Tuesday, November 17.  We will travel by FCS bus for the 10am show and return for NORMAL lunch.  Please make sure to return the permission slip and $10 fee.

-Thursday, November 12 is our Veterans’ Day celebration at school.  We will have a special Mass with a celebration following for those who sent in the reservation.
