Veteran’s Day Activity: Thank you to those of you who were able to share photos of veterans for our school bulletin board. To honor those who have served our country, we made cards in class today. I sent them home to the students who said they had a veteran in their family. Please share these with family members as you have time. Thanks!

Homework: Every day, please take time to review high frequency words for reading and spelling. I can really tell many of you are practicing at home! 

READING: Every day, please listen to your child read for 15 minutes, with a timer. Be sure to write ONE title on your child’s reading log and initial it.
MATH: Tuesday and Thursday of this week.

Language Arts: In reading, we’re going to study the author, Mercer Mayer. We’ll be looking more closely at character traits and clues for who is telling the story. In writing, we’ll continue to work with our dictionaries as we write narratives about our families.

Math: We’re working with Five and Ten Relationships and ten-frames in Topic 3. We’ll continue to review addition and subtraction facts and story problems.
