YES, it is going to be warmer!

Hooray for warmer temperatures this week! I don't know who was more ready to go outside, me or the kids!

Your child will be bringing home a paper turkey for homework on MONDAY.  Please help your them disguise their turkey.  We will be brainstorming a list of ideas tomorrow so they should have plenty of ideas.  I have also seen some great ideas online.  Feel free to use one of those ideas or use a different one your child comes up with.  Please only use things you have around your house.  Do not go out and buy anything!  In the past students have use cotton balls, tinfoil, toothpicks, etc. to disguise their turkey.  Your child can also color their turkey if you do not have supplies at home.  We will be using the turkeys for a writing project the following week, so please make sure your child has brought their turkey back by Friday, November 21.  Have fun and be creative!

In Lead 21 this week our focus question is, "How does nature affect the way we move and change?" To help us answer this question we will be reading books about weather and nature in reading groups.

In math, we will be working on many concepts this week.  We will continue to work on adding 10 to a number.  We will also begin working on fact families and adding 3 numbers.  Our graph this week is about pie...so of course we will have to do some pie tasting!

The holiday music program will be held on December 19.  First grade will be performing in the morning and afternoon.  Here are the times the grades will be performing:

8:45  K-1st
9:30  2nd
10:15  3rd-6th
12:45  K-1st
2:00  3rd-6th

Have a great week!
