Thanksgiving Feast!

We will shop at the Scholastic Book Fair on Monday at 1:50.  You may come with us if you would like to help your child purchase books.  Otherwise, you could send in money with your child in a labeled envelope with their name and amount or ask them to write down titles and prices of books that they are interested in purchasing later in the week.  We can help them write the titles and prices.  We will see Mrs. Hanson and Mrs. Gomes for centers on Monday.  They will also join us for the Book Fair.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Below are photos from our feast!  The food was delicious! Go to the Flickr site to the right of this blog to view photos of us preparing for our feast!  Thank you to Mrs. Gomes, Mrs. Moriarty, Mr. Calias, and Ms. Forrest for volunteering to help prepare for our feast.

Family Turkey Projects

I enjoyed meeting with all of you at parent conferences!

Some questions to ask your child about the week:

• How do you find the missing addend of an equation?  3+ __ = 5 (How do you know how many counters are hiding under the cup?)
• Tell me what horizontal, vertical, and diagonal mean?
• How did you make a turkey using your hands and feet?
• What was your classroom job this week?
• Can you name a reading strategy in your backpack?
• Which sound does short a, short i, and short o make?
• Can you tell me a few facts you learned about turkeys?

Below are our Family Turkey Projects.  Sorry the lens on our iPad was smudged when we took the photos.  They aren't the clearest pictures.  The students enjoyed sharing them with the class.
