*This Friday, November 10th is No School in observance of Veteran's Day. We will learn a little about the importance of this holiday.
*In Math, we will practice counting on the number line, counting to add/subtract and skip counting.

*In Social Studies, we will begin to focus our Economics unit, called Goods and Services. Businesses that provide goods sell items that are made or grown. Businesses that supply services provide work that someone does for someone else. This person is usually specially trained. This week, we will brainstorm businesses in our community and listen to members of our community that provide goods and services. The students will work with a partner to decide whether the person provides a good or a service.
*In comprehension, we will continue to learn about Non-Fiction features. Students will begin writing their own Non-Fiction book: All About Me.
*Star of the Week: I will be the first Star of the Week in our class. On Thursday, I will share personal photos, mementos and some of my favorite things with the class. Each Friday we will choose a new Star of the Week. Every student will have a chance to share. When your child is chosen, you will receive a letter with information and a poster for your child to fill out. My hope is for everyone to have their own special time to share a little bit about themselves.
*Over the next couple of weeks, students will begin to bring reading books home with them a couple of times a week. These books are books we have read in reading group at least 2 times. The books should be fairly simple for students to read as they've had multiple opportunities to read them in class before bringing them home. Sometimes when reading longer books, I'll put a "Stop Here" sticky note in the book. Please only read up until the sticky note. Reading beyond will make it so we cannot make predictions or ask questions before reading on in class. When your child does bring a book home, please have them read it to you, sign off on the log sheet that they've read it and return the book the next day. Often times we will use the book the next day to begin our reading group with a familiar book.
*On Thursday, we will welcome author, Renata Bowers, to our school. She will meet with all of our grade levels individually to discuss her "Freida B" books. We will begin to familiarize ourselves with her books tomorrow during Read Aloud.
*I'm currently working on our volunteer and mystery reader schedules. Thank you for your patience as I get this paperwork taken care of!
