It was great seeing all of you at the Halloween Carnival Saturday evening. The good news is that our first grade won the Halloween Booth Decorating contest. That means the first grade will be getting a pizza party. Thank you to all of you that helped out in any way.
I also enjoyed meeting all of you for conferences. As I said to all of you, the vocabulary words are very important. You should be reviewing them on a nightly basis. This week there will be no new words. This is a great time to review the ones that we have already had.
It is going to be very busy between now and Thanksgiving. The first grade will be making turkey centerpieces for the Thanksgiving dinner. We will be performing in the Thanksgiving Program and will be making Indian shirts and headbands for the program. We will also be feasting with the kindergarten. Once we are back from Thanksgiving vacation we will be preparing for the Christmas program, as we are also performing in that.
There will be an all-school mass on Friday, November 5, with dismissal at 12:30.
Curriculum remains the same. In reading we are working on contractions, compound words, endings of ing, ed, and s, plurals, possession, cause and effect, sequencing, short vowels a, i, o, vocabulary, and comprehension. In Science we are working on the ecosystem. In Social Studies we are learning about the Native American Indians and the pilgrims. In Religion we will be making a saint book, and in P.E. we are working with rhythm sticks.
Once again thank you for all of you who have been helping with various projects. It is greatly appreciated. Thank you to the parents who sent in food or helped with the Halloween party. Thank you to the parents who donated books from the Book Fair for the classroom. The response for the D Street Homeless Shelter was wonderful. Thank you to all. We will be collecting again by December 10. It was all greatly appreciated. Please continue to sign the planners. If you have read this blog have your child write on a piece of paper what season of the year it is.
Have a great week. GOD LOVES YOU!
