Hello!

Thanks to each one of you for signing up for the Thanksgiving lunch. I will send a reminder home tomorrow of what you signed up for so you can pick it up over the weekend! We had a great week discussing the first Thanksgiving and creating fun turkey crafts. We added the word "have" to our snap word wall today. We started our Handwriting Without Tears workbooks after nap today. The children seemed to enjoy working in them. Next week we will bring out the Magnetic boars that go with the writing program. Don't forget there's no school on Friday!

Have a great night!

Good Morning!

Well it took 5 hours but we made it to Big Bear! There's a least 8 inches of snow and it's beautiful outside. We had a fun week beginning our Thanksgiving unit. We read stories about the first Thanksgiving and talked about the relationship between the pilgrims and Native Americans. Next week we will make some fun turkey crafts and work on our "Turkey Happy" book. We have five words on our word wall now (I, a, my, see, & like). This week we will add the word "have". I'm really trying to encourage the students to write their name with ONE capital letter! Sit with them this coming week and have them write their name 3 times with a capital only at the beginning. You may want to write their name on a piece of card stock and keep it handy for them to copy.

Monday, your conference time will be sent out connected to the front page of the monthly FLS newsletter. Please let me know ASAP if the time I assigned you does not work.

I hope you have a great weekend,
Mrs. Ellis....check the wish list I made some changes!
