Wrapping Up Weather

Thank you to ​Mr. Conner for sharing his home weather station with us in a fantastic lesson.  The kids loved having him. He also donated solar powered windmill kits to our class, which the kids built in teams.  We brought them outside, and they worked!​

Math

 

We will have our assessment this week on place value.  Our next unit is time and money.  If your child does not have their addition facts through 20 memorized, you can help by regularly practicing.  First, focus on sums to 10, and once they have that down, work on sums to 20.

Homework

​We will have spelling practice homework this week.  Click here if you need another copy of the practice menu.  Your child should also be working on the leaf project!​

Sharing

​We have started Sharing this week.  Click here if you need another copy of the Sharing Schedule.​

​   This week, we are sharing something (or someone) we are thankful for.  On your child's sharing day, he also may want to bring in a symbol of what he is thankful for (photo or something else).  ​

  

​Buddies

We met with our fourth grade buddies this week to make woven paper placemats.  These will be used at the teachers' Thanksgiving breakfast​ and hopefully as a lovely centerpiece at YOUR Thanksgiving celebration as well.​

 

Veteran's Day

​

Thank you for

​helping your child make a card for ​

veteran

​s. As my brother was depolyed twice to Iraq (in 2002 and 2004), this holiday is meaningful for me and my family.  My nephews were very little when he was away, and it was hard for them, but the worst part for me was watching the toll it took on my parents.  Fortunately, today my brother is quite well and living in Natick where he is a police officer, and his sons are happy and successful college students!  We are very lucky.  

 

Have a great week!
