Important Information 1.) Our 1st and 2nd grade Harvest Day will be Wednesday, November 27th. We will be learning about Thanksgiving through different crafts and activities. We will also be having pie day! We are still in need of two more people to sign up to bring a pie. If you are willing that would be great. Here is the sign up link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090c44a8ad2ca5f58-elementary 2.) Christmas Program permission slips: Slips were sent home today to ride the bus for Christmas program practice. The red slip also notifies us who will be going home with parents after the program and who needs a ride back to school. Please check your child's folder and return as soon as you can. 3.) Scholastic Book Order: Thank you for those who put in some orders with Scholastic. We should be receiving that order soon and I was able to order a few more books for our classroom library because of it! 4.) Monthly Bible Verse (Test on Tuesday 11/26): Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Upcoming Dates: 11/27 - 1st and 2nd Grade Harvest Day/Pie Day 11/28-11/29 - Thanksgiving Holiday 12/18 - Christmas Program and Early Dismissal Here is a look at our week: Reading: This week we learned how to sequence a story together using the words: first, then, next, finally, at last, etc. Phonics: We learned that the /ik/ sound is often spelled either ick or ic at the end of a word. The spelling ic is usually within two syllable words like picnic or garlic, and the spelling ick is within one syllable words like pick or stick. Writing: We had a celebration time of our personal narrative stories. We shared our stories with the 2.1 class on Monday. We began learning how to write poems. We learned that poets see with their hearts and minds. We practiced observing different objects to create poems from. Math: We began learning how to subtract two-digit numbers. We learned a little saying to help us know when we need to regroup or not. Bible: We learned about Ezra and Nehemiah. We learned how God protected the Israelites as they built the wall again around Jerusalem. We learned that Ezra read the Law again to the Israelites so that they might follow it. Social Skills: We are continuing to learn about RESPECT this quarter. We learned that one aspect of respect is polite manners. We also spent some time writing thank you cards to other teachers and staff at the school for what they do. We will give them their cards next week! Have a great weekend!
