Week of November 28, 2011
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving break.
Thanks to Maria Meadowcroft for volunteering to be our Reading Ranger this Tuesday.
Also, thanks to Mia Faulquier for her weekly help with our library check-out time. It is an immense help to us to have a parent check books in and out. Thanks, Mia!
We will be starting a new math unit this week, with continued work on flash cards for addition, subtraction, and multiplication at home and in our spare moments. I am very impressed with how hard every student is working to master these skills.
Our unit on folktales is going very well. Students are learning to identify the essential elements of a folktale and will soon be writing an original folktale to be shared.
