Dear Parents,                                               November 21, 2011

We have much to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving week and at the top of my list is YOU!  Thank you for all your support and for sharing your children with me.  They make me smile everyday!

This is a very short week and therefore we will concentrate on the “Thanksgiving” theme in language arts and social studies.  We will review our spelling units through the playing of “Sparkle” and therefore will not have the usual spelling homework (or test).  We will continue with our writing projects- our Colonial Book and a special Thanksgiving poem to share with family and friends on Thanksgiving! We will also perform our Readers’ Theatre Play on Tuesday at 11:00.  You are welcome to join us! (The play will be performed in the first grade classroom.)  We will continue learning our basic facts, picture graphs and tally charts in math.  In religion this week, we will continue working on understanding the Our Father and being thankful. We will also be attending mass on Wednesday at 8:30 – Please join us if your schedule permits!

Please remind your child to bring their library book to school tomorrow so that they may check out a new one.

Water bottle sales continue on Tuesday.  Thank you for your support!

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.  Have a Blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends.
