Greetings Families!
Veteran's Day
The children did a great job writing lovely cards for veterans. I sent them to the VA hospital in Jamaica Plain. As your child may have told you, Veterans Day is special for me because my brother Lieutenant Colonel Brett Conaway served twice in Iraq, in 2000 and in 2004, with the military police. I missed him, but that was nothing compared to the pain of separation from their father for my nephews (who were 4 and 6 the first time he was deployed) and my brave sister in law, and for my parents, who were very worried. I think my poor mother lost twenty pounds the first month Brett was gone. We are so lucky that he returned safely to us. And I'm happy to report that my mother is now very healthy!
Social Studies
Our new focus is maps and globes. We read
Me on the Map and are beginning a project based on that book to understand our place in the world and the difference between our town and our state, our country and our continent, etc.
Math
We are wrapping up our unit on place value and moving onto time and fractions. The children are in the process of taking an assessment. I will share the results with you shortly.
Baking Bread
You will receive (or may have already received) a request from our room parents for some help with our annual bread project. Thanks for all of your help, and thanks to the room parents for coordinating the details for me so I didn't have to!
Have a great week!
