November 18-22

Please remember that there is no school for students on Monday- November 18^th!  We have conferences scheduled for that day from 12-6:15pm.  If you did not schedule a conference or misplaced the time confirmation note, you may call or email me for a time---atarantelli@northschuylkill.net or 570-874-3661 etx.3241.  Please jot down any questions or concerns you may have. 

In math next week we will be counting and really learning all about the numbers 11-20.  We will also be doing some problem solving, reviewing for a chapter test and taking a test on the numbers 11-20.

In reading we will be reading the story Whose Garden is it?  This is a rhyming story and we will discuss realism and fantasy again.

In phonics we will be learning the letter Ff as in fish.  We will also be reading some frog books.  Your child should now know Ll, Oo, Gg, Hh, Tt, Pp, Aa, Nn, Mm, Ii, and Ss.  They should know how to recognize the letter and know the sound.

Please practice word list 5.  We will be having show and tell for Ff on Thursday and will be tested on word list 5 on Friday!

Tuesday will be day #2 on our rotation schedule.  Your child will need his/her library book.  Wednesday will be gym day! 

I gave each child a knit headband to wear for recess.  This has their name on it and will be kept in their cubby. 

We will learn about Indians and pilgrims up until Thanksgiving.
