Welcome Back!


I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving Break!  From all the stories
I have been hearing, it sounds as if you did!


This week we are reading a fun story Dex the Heart of a Hero.  We will
work on understanding characters and comparing and contrasting. In
language we will be writing a narrative paragraph.  We will go back
and revise and edit it as well.  Our spelling words this week all end in
-s or -es.


We have begun Unit 4 in math which is all about measuring.  This is
a fun unit for the children.  They love to get up and measure objects
in the classroom and each other!


Some students didn't finish their math worksheet in class today and
will be bringing it home to complete tonight.


ILE's Adopt-a-family is in full swing.  Our room coordinators have
sent out the information about our family.  Thank you to everyone
who is able to help with this worthy project.


I hope you have a wonderful week!

Dear Parents,


This week we are working on reading skills using our "Scholastic News"
magazines.  We will learn about text features, citing text evidence,
and comparing and contrasting.  Our spelling words have the endings
-ed and -ing.  In language we are learning to use the dictionary.  Some
students didn't finish the worksheet on guide words in the dictionary
and have it in their take home folders to complete as homework.


In math we are solving and creating our own story problems.  We had
a great time creating the pictures to go with our problems!


We are our of school tomorrow for election day.


Our class will visit the book fair Thursday morning and Friday
after lunch.  You can send money on either of these days for
your child to shop.


Thanksgiving lunch is Friday at 12:30. 


Pennies Wars has begun to support United Way.  If you would
like to participate, students can bring in money this week.  The class
with the most money collected will win a pizza or donut party and
30 minutes extra recess.  The 2nd place class will win a pizza or
donut party.


Have a wonderful week!
