Today our school begins its annual turn off the TV week. Take the opportunity for the next couple of days to encourage your family to put aside television and video games in favor of reading and spending more time together. Students who participate each night have the chance to enter their name into a draw for prizes. Friday is the last day of no TV week, as well as our November student of the month assembly. The lunch available this week is pizza.
The students have earned a board game party, which we will be having after recess on Friday morning. Students may bring whatever games from home they choose. If your child chooses to bring a game from home, encourage them to bring one that other students will be capable of playing.
Our spelling words this week include she, call, run, big, may. A fun try-it at home would be to use colored markers or crayons to copy your words in as many different color combinations as possible. That could make a pretty collage!
We have two new clubs starting at the school tomorrow. If your child has signed up for either drama or lego club, be sure to include a lunch in their backpack tomorrow.
This week we have begun looking at colors in science. Take opportunities to point out colors that occur naturally in the world around us, and the beauty they can bring to this world. Also point out color words in books you read so that they become very familiar to your budding reader. We are also finishing up our unit in math that looks at how objects can be equal and unequal.
I have sent home December book orders. They are due back quick this time – by next Thursday, November 27. You are welcome to order anything if you choose, but I don’t know if they will arrive before Christmas.
Our busy, buzzy goal this week is to ‘bee’ patient. We are learning to patiently wait our turn to speak and give our ideas, and patiently wait in line, or for help from a teacher, parent or friend.
Hope you have a great week!
