Good Afternoon everyone & Happy November!
I apologize that my weekly update message is a day late, it has been very
busy this week with a faculty meeting yesterday and all our Election Day fun
today. Our class truly had an amazing Election Day today and I am so proud of how well they are all doing, I am really so blessed to be their teacher.
Since we are already in the start of a new month, I have some upcoming information for you all.
1) Yesterday our Reading Folders went home with our new November
READO Boards, Reading Logs, and Fluency practice. Our Weekly Homework
Checklist & new popcorn word lists were sent home as well. Please return
reading folders on Friday with the weekly practice page (2-sided).
2) Yesterday we also sent home our Disguise a Turkey projects! We read
the story “Turkey Trouble” and spoke about how we can all help save Turkey
on Thanksgiving by giving him a costume/disguise so the Farmer can’t find
him. Please help your child decorate their turkey however they’d like so he
doesn’t look like a turkey and please return it to school by next Monday,
11/09. I cannot wait to see them!
3) Our big ABC Bootcamp Fashion Show will be this Friday afternoon. I am
still working on finalizing details of timing but if we are unable to live
stream it for you, I will still be taking videos to send with you all so you can
see our amazing designers in action. Please return their vests to school on
Thursday, or no later than Friday morning if you need an extra day.
4) Just a reminder that now that we are in November, we have started the
“winter uniforms”. Please try to label your child’s sweaters, jackets, and
sweatshirts as it gets very difficult to sort at times when they are not
labeled. Also, please try to layer your child in the morning since the weather
is always changing and we do go outside as long as it is above 32 degrees.
5) Please check the Friday Folder on our STS website for more information
for upcoming events.
6) A reminder that there is no school next Friday, November 13th, in
remembrance of Veteran’s Day.
Here are the themes/concepts we are focusing on this week:
1) Reading/Language Arts/Phonics:
- Letters & Sounds- Review all 26 & prepare for Fashion Show
