I am sending home a note today explaining our Friendship Mix day.  Basically, we are asking students to bring a bag of his/her favorite snack.  Raisins, pretzels, cheez-its, candies, etc.  We will put each snack food together in a big bag to make our friendship mix.  Students will need to bring this on Monday.

The Book Bingo is due on Tuesday, Nov. 26th.  I hope that you all enjoyed having a chance to choose some different books to read with your child.  I also hope that some kids found some new book series to enjoy.

My next First in Math challenge is for students to go to the K-2 World and complete the See3 and More or Less games.  They should continue to work on Skill Set 1.  Just the Facts addition should be finished and kids should be on to Subtraction! Reading and First in Math will be your child’s assignments during the break!

I am going to ask each child to bring a favorite holiday book to share with the class the week after Thanksgiving break.  We will use these books during read to someone time and it will be our next book report.  Please help your child pick a “good fit” book that he/she can read out loud.  It would be a good idea to practice reading the book over break.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break!  I am truly thankful for all of you.
