Wow this week flew by! I cannot believe Thanksgiving is next week! We have been working very hard in room 113. Students completed and brought home their This is Me books. It was fun to hear the different things that they came up with that they like. We have continued to write in our journals. The students are doing a nice job thinking of the sounds they hear in words and getting them down on paper. We are encouraging "best guess spelling," using the sounds they hear. It is amazing to see all the differences in their writing from the beginning of the year. I hope you can keep their journals and see the growth by June!
We started talking about Thanksgiving and being thankful. We came up with a nice list of different things we are thankful for and are making thankful turkeys to decorate our classroom. We have learned some turkey poems and also created a class book of different things that we are thankful for. It will start circulating to homes today. Please share it with your child and send it back to school the next day. We are missing a few class books that we have not seen in a while. Please check your homes to see if you may have a Room 113 class book.

Our bald eagle hand-prints.
Today the school had an extra recess time with a dance party to celebrate that as a school students did a great job with the first two aspects of our SOARs motto: self-control and outstanding effort. Here are some friends showing off their dance moves!!
A few reminders....
-As a reminder next Wednesday will be a half day of school. Students will be riding the bus home that they take to school in the morning. A notice went home Thursday. Please fill it out and send it back as soon as possible. Everything else in folders can stay at home.
-Please send in the $10 to cover the cost of the Nutcracker field trip as soon as possible.
-Please practice at home with your child putting on their sweatshirts, hats, jackets, gloves, etc. It is a time saver when getting ready for recess and going home.
-December 1st we are scheduled for parent teacher conferences. This is adults only please. If the time that I sent home does not work for you please let me know. I am also available the week of the conferences before school and for a little while after school if that is more accommodating to your schedule. A phone conference is always an option as well if you cannot make it into the classroom.
