Wednesday, November 16

This week we have been practicing the words the and is.  Our centers this week included reading sight word books, making a sight word poem, doing a Pilgrim puzzle, a die-roll turkey, word work, and stamping words.  Other literacy activities this week included shared reading poems, read alouds, making a page in a class book, and writing in our I Am Thankful book.  We also made feathers for a class turkey about things that we are thankful for. 

In math this week, we have been working on graphing and writing numbers 0-5.  We also did a fun noodle activity in math and made a class graph of our favorite Thanksgiving foods. 

Later this week we will be writing in our journals and reading a new Let's Find Out magazine about Thanksgiving.  We have finished putting our recipe book together, so watch for it to come home later in the week.  We hope you enjoy our recipes!

Next week we will review all our sight words and finish up the rest of our Thanksgiving activities.  We will also be visiting the Edgerton Hospital on Tuesday morning and meeting with our fourth grade buddies on Tuesday afternoon.

Reminders:  Please send in your field trip money if you haven't already.  The cost is 25 cents. 
No school next week Wednesday-Friday.
