Dear Parents,

 

All week long, our focus has been Veteran’s Day. We have talked about the military branches, being brave, and how soldiers help us. During math, our class has been focusing on subtracting and adding with different strategies. I have noticed that we are struggling with subtracting. At times, children are mixing up the addition and subtraction sign. I am trying to point this out to the class.

 

Please keep in mind we are working on hard on our reading and writing skills. It is extremely important that children receive extra practice for these skills. Daily reading practice allows for stronger comprehension skills. According to the article, The Magic of 15 Minutes, more than 15 minutes each day is linked with higher reading success.

 

Just A Few Dates To Keep In Mind-

 

  • Annual Holiday Food/Toy Drive- 11/7-11/22
  • Fall Sports Banquet- 11/8
  • Gobble Grams- 11/14-11/17
  • Winter Sports Pictures- 11/16
  • Charlie Brown Thanksgiving- 11/23
  • Thanksgiving Break – 11/24-11/25
  • MAP Testing- 11/27-12/8

 

 

On November 23rd, our school will be open for the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. We will open the front doors starting at 10:30. Charlie Brown Thanksgiving typically runs for around an hour and a half.

 

Picking Up Your Student

  • Guests are welcome to enter the building starting at 10:30 am. At this point, there is no need to sign in as a visitor.
  • All students will need to be checked out from the classroom that day as opposed to doing the Drive Lane Routine. Therefore, there will be NO DRIVELANE on this day.
  • There will be NO AFTERCARE on this day.
  • Guests will go to their student’s classroom and they may enter the classroom after the doors open.
  • Please let your classroom teacher know you are taking your student before you leave.

 

Have a great week.

Ms. Trowbridge
