The turkey is coming!
Dear Parents,
What a fun-filled week! In class, our firsties have been discussing the Mayflower, Thanksgiving, and the Pilgrims. During class, we created a map from Europe to North America. This process allowed the children to see the voyage and the hardships on a boat. Secondly, we are also learning our diagraphs- ch, sh, wh, th, sh, ph, and ck. The children are working hard on mastering these important skills in their reading and writing. For math, we have wrapped up another unit around subtracting and adding. I gave the children a short test, which will give you an idea on how your child is progressing with these skills. Overall, practice is key.
After the break, I sent home a Scholastic Book Order. Unfortunately, as with many other things, they have been slow on the shipping process. I have finally received the order and am sending it home today.
Our turkeys are displayed in the hall. When you visit next week for our Thanksgiving Feast, please check them out. After the holiday, I will send home a Gingerbread home for you to disguise. I am sure all families will want to participate. Thank you!

Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Dessert Donation
Occurring the day before Thanksgiving, Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is a tradition at San Tan Charter! Dr. and Mrs. Sippel began this tradition in the first Montessori Preschool class with bean soup. The tradition continues for families by bringing their own lunch and eating it picnic style outside as a community and brining desserts to share. The kids love this because this is the one-day sweets are allowed on campus! Please help us! Peruse our list and bring your favorite treat.
A few reminders: No NUTS, desserts must be baked, defrosted and ready at morning drive lane. There will be volunteers available to collect your dessert at drive lane and walk it over to the cafeteria to be cut.
