We have several new original videos posted on our site (at Fun Stuff), including two student-created stories that you are sure to love! Please watch them with your child. You may even want to send the video link to Grandma and Grandpa so they can enjoy the stories too.

After reading, "I Went Walking" by Sue Williams, we decided to take a walk ourselves around the school grounds to see what we could see. We took notes along the way, and came up with this fun story that goes by the same name.


During Science last week, Mrs. C wanted the students to learn about how they can take care of the earth through conservation and recycling. So she let Mrs. Jenkins' son Jalen do the teaching through his funny and informative video, "Save the Earth". Jalen shows the kids what to do and what not to do!

Finally, we put an unusual twist on harvest time and Halloween by creating strange and funny pumpkins. After using creative materials to make the artwork, the kids stretched their imaginations to tell a funny story about their funny pumpkins. Hmmm, what will the funny pumpkins do next?

Just a few reminders:
  • Our Thanksgiving Feast is coming on Monday, November 23. We will send home a flyer with the time and location. Please sign up to bring a dish representing your culture by this Friday.
  • Our award ceremony is tomorrow morning at 8:30. Some of our students will be receiving rewards for achievement and perfect attendance. Please come out to support our class.
  • No school next Wednesday through Friday.
Have a wonderful week everyone!

Homework Nov. 16-20

11:27 AM by KidWhisperer
*BE SURE TO WRITE NAME AND DATE ON EACH PAGE OF HOMEWORK*


**ALL ARTWORK, DRAWING AND WRITING MUST BE COMPLETED INDEPENDENTLY BY THE STUDENTS.**

Monday (Phonics & Writing): 1.) In class, we have been learning how to stretch out words to listen for letter sounds. Find 3 things in or around your house that begin with "H". Stretch out each word (i.e. hat would sound like hhhhaaaaat). Write the sounds you heard to make the word. Have a parent write the true spelling below your word. 2.) Write your first name 5 times. Make sure that only the first letter is capital and all the rest are lowercase.

Tuesday (Math): Draw a picture of 10 feathers. Write the numbers 1-10 on each feather. Color the first feather red, the second feather brown, the sixth feather green, the seventh feather orange and the ninth feather yellow. Follow the correct order and read your feathers aloud to an adult at home. Say the ordinal number words: first, second, third, fourth, fifth...tenth.

Wednesday (Science/Social Studies): Make a picture of an animal in its home. For example, a bird’s home is a nest; foxes live in dens; a bear lives in a cave, etc. You can draw your pictures, find pics on the computer, or cut out a picture from a magazine.

Thursday (Language Arts): 1.) Draw a picture of you and your classroom friends using colors and details. Label the pictures. 2.) Write2 (two) sentences about your friends. Remember to use capitalization, punctuation and finger spaces when you write your sentences.

Friday (Reading activities): Go to the library and find some books about Thanksgiving this weekend.

*Homework Journals are due on Fridays.*

Have a splendid week!
