Today, you will find a permission slip for the Austin Nature Center field trip.  Please fill it out and send it back by Friday, Nov. 18.  Thanks!

As we enter the holiday season I just want to tell you all how thankful I am for your support. These children are surrounded by loving and caring teachers both at school and at home. I thank you for supporting your children both as learners and citizens of our community. I am lucky to have such a sweet group of students with such thoughtful parents.

Wednesday:Thanksgiving lunch in the cafeteria

This week in Reading and writing workshop...
We will be thinking like readers as we explore Thanksgiving books to learn more about the First Thanksgiving. Then we will take what we know and have learned and make our own books about the First Thanksgiving.

This week in Social Studies...
We will be learning about inventors and how their ideas changed our community. We will explore Alexander Graham Bell, Garrett Morgan and Ben Franklin. These individuals used an open mindset to try new things and take risks. They succeeded after many tries and now we can thank them for the inventions they created.

This week in Math...
We will continue our work with place value. We will compose and decompose numbers up to 120. We will compare numbers in isolation, with concrete objects and in problem solving situations.

Have a great week!
