Hello Parents,

I hope you all had a great 3 day weekend, spending time with your families! Thanksgiving is right around the corner! I can’t believe how fast these holidays are coming.

This week in Mrs. Super Stars:

Bible: We will continue focusing on Thankfulness for the Thanksgiving season. We will discuss as a class all the things we have to be thankful for, and learn that everything we have is because of the graciousness of our Lord.

Memory verse

I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.

Psalm 34:1 (20pts.)

Language Arts: This week the students will be learning about plural words with -s and -es. Students will practice writing singular and plural words in their spelling book. In our guided reading groups we are continuing to cover the setting of a story and main characters. Students are also working on retelling the story in their own words. They are practicing telling me what happens first, next, and last in a story. We will continue going over all of these during our guided reading groups. In our writing we are focusing on writing about a place. The students are practicing making complete sentences. They are focusing on editing their own paper. This means making sure all their sentences start with a capital letter, all the rest are lower case, they are finger spacing between each word, and they end all their sentences with a period.

Spelling Words: (To be tested Friday)

1. boy     2. boys

3. box      4. boxes

5. dog    6. dogs

7. tent    8. tents

9. about    10. how

11. good    12. Pilgrim

13. Indian

Math:  we are moving on to chapter 6 in our math books. Chapter 6 focuses on adding and subtracting facts to 12. We are skipping chapter 5 for now, and will come back to it at a later time. This chapter should be a review for the students, but they will be learning some new concepts such as adding 3 numbers together, finding the missing addend, subtracting from 12 and less, and fact families.

Social Science: We will be learning about pilgrims and Indians to prepare for our thanksgiving program.

Thanksgiving Unit  – We are learning about immigrants in Social Science and the contributions they have made to America.  Among the immigrants we study are the Pilgrims who sailed from England.  We will culminate our studies with a Thanksgiving Program with the Kindergartners. First Graders are the Pilgrims and the Kindergartners are the Indians.The boys should wear white shirts and dark pants and the girls should wear a dark dress or a skirt with a white blouse or shirt. Second Graders will be Americans. If you do not have these clothing items, please do not go out and buy anything. Just wear the closest thing you have. It will be just fine. The program will be on Tuesday, November 2rth at 10:45 A.M. at Student Ministries Center. Please do not enter the building until 10:30 because the high school students will be in there cleaning up. There is school in the afternoon, however, your child is free to go after the program to begin their Thanksgiving vacation.  For those who stay, we will be having a fun friday afternoon. If you know your child will not be here for the program, please let me know, as that will be helpful in preparing the groups for our program.  Thanks!

Christmas Traditions Poster – We will be celebrating Christmas around the world in December. Students will be making a poster depicting their family Christmas traditions. This can be magazine cut outs, pictures, or drawings from your child. You can find poster boards at stores such as Walmart, Target, Longs, Dollar Tree, and Rite-Aid. The children will be making their traditions poster at home and sharing it at school.  It will be due during the week of Dec. 2-6.  Your child can bring it on any of those days and we will share in the afternoons.  Be looking for a note in their take home folders in regards to this assignment.

 

      Operation Christmas Child – Thank you to all of you who participated in operation Christmas child. There are many families who are less fortunate than we are, and the Lord gives us many opportunities to bless these families with necessities that they need.

Together we CAN!

Once again we have the privilege to help the families of Pinedale this Holiday season!  We will be collecting CANned food Nov. 12th thru Dec. 6th to distribute through the Pinedale Book Buddies program.  Our High School students are already volunteering as Book Buddies and we would like to continue our support for their programs. Our delivery this year will help families by providing food for Christmas.  Pinedale resource leaders put together a list of items most used in the community (see back of flyer sent home).  Please make sure to check this list before you shop. There will be a prize awarded to the classes that bring the most items (1 prize for grades K-3, and 1 prize for grades 4-6).

If you are interested in making a financial donation, please send cash/check to the office and designate “Food – Pinedale.”  We have a program with Food Maxx where we use scrip & S.H.A.R.E.S. so FCS also benefits!
