Good afternoon everyone!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their week. In the next two weeks we have lots happening. Tomorrow is picture retake day. We also have Nowlin/Blue shirt day for spirit week. Tomorrow is our first chess club meeting at 8:00 in room 26. We also need Thanksgiving Feast permission slips and the $2.00 turkey fee cost turned in before the end of the week. If you plan on donating a food item, it must be brought up to the school on the day of the feast, before 1:00 and it needs to be ready to serve. We will not be able to cook/warm any food at school unfortunately.  We are holding a school wide canned food collection for Gleaner’s Food Bank so please send in any canned food or non-perishable items you can spare. Every donation goes to a family in need.

Here is our week:

Spelling- We are working on oi, oy, ow and ou chunks. Our spelling words are fountain, invoice, announcement, empower, voyage, congruent, parallel, perpendicular, intersecting, and Mayflower.

Science-We are starting our second unit-Exploring Planets, Stars and Space!

Math-Students are still working on geometry and learning how to sort polygons based upon different characteristics.

Writing-Students are writing compare and contrast pieces. They are comparing the first Thanksgiving to our current Thanksgiving.
