Dear Families,
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I am so thankful for this amazing group of first graders!
Field Trip: Thank you to our drivers and to the special people at Jacob's Heart. We learned so much and we loved helping with the card making and bag decorating!
Classroom Donations: Thank you so much for the classroom donations and your generous donations to our classroom fund! We could still use large ziplock bags, and sour patch kids.
Star of the Week: Please look at the schedule, right hand side of this post, to see when it is your child's turn to be Star. If the week I have chosen doesn't work for you, please let me know and we can change it. There is a lot of flexibility with this program so feel free to change the activities to best suit your family. Have fun and we can't wait to learn more about all our Stars!
Language Arts: Our stories and writing will be around the Thanksgiving Theme.
Grammar: Sentences that end with a period, exclamation mark or a question mark.
Writer's Workshop: We are finishing up our opinion pieces and looking forward to writing another one after our Thanksgiving Vacation.
Word Wall Words: Your children will learn new word wall words each week and together we will put them on our Word Wall. Listed below are the word wall words from Kindergarten. It is my hope that you will make a word wall at home or make flashcards to practice daily with your child. This will help your child with reading, writing, and spelling.

Phonograms: These are letters that when put together make one or more sounds. We will learn several phonograms each week to help us read, write and spell. Below are the phonograms we learned this week.

ir as in first ur as in nurse wh as in whistle
ch as in chip ea as in sea, bread, great ai in the middle of the word
ay at the end of the word ar as in car
Math: We will continue to add and subtract within 20, count to 120 starting at any number and this month we will focus on partitioning circles and rectangles into two and four equal parts using the words whole, halves, fourths and quarters to describe them. Also this entire month we will focus on learning to tell time to the hour and half hour using an analog clock. Now would be a GREAT time to get an analog clock for your child to tell time to the hour and half hour with you at home.
