We hope to see you at the Veterans Day program on Monday morning, November 11th. Kindergarten - 2nd grade will be attending the 8:00 a.m. program.
WHAT A BUSY WEEK!
Students have been hard at work tapping out words that have a short vowel /a/ in the middle. We have been practicing reading and writing these "cvc" words (words that have a consonant at the beginning and end and a short vowel in the middle.) In math, the students worked on addition and subtraction, as well as, counting backwards from 20 to 1 and counting from 1 – 100. In social studies we learned about symbols that represent the United States and in science, we completed our unit on magnets.
BOOK BAGS
All students need to keep their reading bags (and library books) in their backpacks when they are not reading them.
Please help your child become a confident and fluent reader by having him/her read everyday.
November Character Trait
How appropriate that the character trait for the month of November is gratitude. Gratitude is "Choosing to appreciate the people and things in our lives." You can help your child reflect on what they appreciate and are thankful for with these gratitude prompts:
