I hope you had a wonderful holiday.  Thank you for all the wonderful gifts and a special thanks to all the parents who helped with the party.  The party was a great success and so much fun.

This week and next we will be focusing on characters, setting, problem and solutions in our stories.  We will create characters to use in retelling the story. Students will be encouraged to use the words beginning, middle, and end or first, next, then, and last.   Have your child retell the stories that we have read in class each night.  Ask comprehension questions to help them form their thoughts into sentences.  This activity carries over into good writing skills.

In math, practice doubles facts such as 2 + 2, 3 + 3, and so on.  Practice simple addition and subtraction facts to 12.

The new words are:
yell
smell
spell
well
tell

bell

I also put 7 words on the board and told them they could possibly be the word wall words this week. They are an, if, my, of, have, was, when.

           Thanksgiving Week and After
I am sending home book order forms on Friday. If you would like to order books for Christmas, and don’t want your child to know, we can make arrangements for pick up.

I am also sending home some math facts over the holidays. The students have been encouraged to do the math papers, and to read everyday. The reason for this: All of my students have come a long way since August. We will be off for 9 straight days, and I don’t want them to slow down their progress.

We will be studying the Five Senses the first week we return. Then we will move into Winter/Christmas themes.

Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!

Mrs. Lemoine
