November/December In The Know

November and December are always busy months, and we have a lot of fun and exciting things planned to do before the end of 2019! Our themes for November are Native Americans, Pilgrims, turkeys and forest animals. We have been working on our "thankful books" with Mrs. Tiffany, and we have created some new stations for our guided reading rotations.  Our next trip to the library is this Thursday, and our next class theme day is Turkey Day, which will be on Friday, 11/22. We will bake bread, make butter, build fine motor skills through a special craft and learn about the the early settlers who came to America.

December always goes by so quickly! There is always so much to do and not a lot of time to do it in.  We should be receiving our class books back from Student Treasures Publishing soon; we'll be combining our book reading and class Christmas party this year which will be on Friday, 12/13. We are excited about our Christmas Around the World unit featuring: Scotland, Italy, Sweden, Mexico & the United States. If your family has any traditions we would love to have you be a "guest speaker" in the classroom! Please let me know ASAP if you would like to participate.
