Hello KA Parents,
Happy November! This week will be learning about Veterans’ Day, and saying thank you to the people who keep our country free and safe. We will make special cards and artwork. On Thursday, we will attend a Veterans’ Day assembly.
In reading, we will be focusing on the letter Tt and the sight word “see.” The kindergarteners have been doing more writing the last couple weeks, and feeling more confident in their recognition of sight words and beginning sounds. (These skills will serve them well, as we will begin independent writing and “best guess” spelling next month.) In math, our next chapter focuses on two-dimensional shapes, and symmetry.
The fourth graders are organizing a Thanksgiving food drive, and our class has been assigned to collect cans of frosting for the meal baskets. Please consider donating cans of frosting to help complete and meal basket for a family in need during Thanksgiving.
We will have a KA “Thanksgiving Feast” on Thursday 11/17. This will be a wonderful experience to gather together and share a meal together, as well as to try many different types of foods. Look for more information to come next week! Mrs. White will bring turkey, and ask parents to bring other items to share for our class feast. Is there a traditional or favorite dish that your family enjoys and would be willing to share? I hope you can join us!
