MUSEUM VISIT

The first graders are going to the museum on Monday, November 21 for a Thanksgiving visit. We will leave at 12:00 and arrive back to school by 1:00. You are welcome to meet us at the museum at 12:15. Thanksgiving is almost here! Hurray for the pumpkin pie!

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING

On Tuesday, November 22 we will have a Thanksgiving gathering with our 2nd grade Native American Friends. Our activities will begin after lunch at 12:15. The children are making costumes here at school. Even Mrs. Koerner and Mrs. Seirer will be in costumes! If the children have something black or gray they can wear that day it would work fine. Girls will need to have hair down so that the bonnets will fit. Also, if the girls have an apron at home they may bring it to school that day. I have several extra aprons here at school. We are serving apples, popcorn, cornbread, homemade butter, and apple juice at our feast. Please do not send in any baked items or extra food. We will have plenty for the feast. Those called who are helping with food for this activity are:

J. Stephens- apples
T. Clark – 2 jugs of apple juice
M. Jones – 2 jugs of apple juice
S. Freeman– microwave popcorn
Mrs. Seirer – plates and cups

Wishing you all safe travels and a blessed Thanksgiving with your families!

TECHNOLOGY THURSDAY

This is our last time to the computer lab during the month of November! What a fast month this has been. We have started learning about subtraction in math. The website that I have posted is so much fun...and it even has bees! For reading the children will have fun with Silly Turkey from Starfall. May all your wishbone wishes come true! Gobble...Gobble - Happy Thanksgiving!

TECHNOLOGY THURSDAY

It sure has been a quick week...it's Thursday already! We have been working on doubles and doubles + 1 in math. If you have dominoes at home your child would enjoy getting them out and finding the doubles. The First Graders know how to write problems for the dominoes. Here are a few websites that help us practice the doubles:

EARLY RELEASE DAY

Today the children will be coming home early at 1:00 p.m. Teachers will meet this afternoon to evaluate the place students in new LIFT groups. I have been very pleased with the mastery of skills the first graders have demonstrated. I observe the children using their sounding out strategies daily in their reading. Thank you for supporting your child and listening to them read every day! I'm very PROUD of our flyers!

VETERANS DAY

In honor of Veterans Day on Thursday, Nov. 10 the First Graders will visit the Museum to view the Military exhibits. We will leave school at 12:35 p.m. and arrive back to school by 1:45. You are always welcome to join us! Welcome home John (Charles’ dad) and Travis (Rieley’s dad)! THANK YOU to all of our military who serve our country and keep us safe!

TECHNOLOGY THURSDAY

This is our first Thursday in November to be in the computer lab! Time to turn our clocks back this weekend and sit back and relax for an extra hour. Make time to enjoy these websites with your child.

STORIES ONLINE

I came across this website and I love how the stories are read! Shared with the children today and you could have heard a pin drop on the floor. They were very much engaged in the stories as the movie star readers read their books. This is a must watch website. There are many books to view. Click through the choices and find one your child would like. STELLALUNA is a favorite!
