THANK YOU TO OUR VETERANS!!!

First off, HAPPY VETERANS DAY and a BIG THANK YOU to those who have served and those who are actively serving now!!
WOW...our class has been super busy with activities and trips these past couple of weeks - sorry for the delay in getting this updated!  Thank you to all of you who have helped with our field trips as well!

This week we are learning about the letter "Q" and will even make some quesadillas one day.  Next week will be the letter "G". Thank you again to those of you clipping out our words beginning with these letters.   The children enjoy seeing out letter collages come together!

We are also learning about the pilgrims and Native Americans and the first Thanksgiving.  As part of this theme, I would like for each student to decorate a jug or carton (preferably gallon milk jug) as an animal. Choose any animal and be creative!  We will then make our very own totem pole.  Please have these completed jugs in by Wednesday November 19th.  I can't wait to see them!

In the next few days, the students will be choosing their Native American name, and we will make our indian costumes for our Thanksgiving festivities on the final day of school before Thanksgiving.

DATES TO REMEMBER:
School wide Thanksgiving Feast on Wednesday the 19th... Please have those forms in to school by the 17th so they can have an accurate head count.  Thanks!

November 20th - Progress Reports will be sent out AS NEEDED.

December 4th we will sing at the Nature Trail after the Christmas parade that evening.  More info to come.

Also, the THA Christmas program that was originally scheduled for December 4th has been rescheduled to Thursday, December 11th!!
