Happy November everyone!  I hope everyone enjoyed their day off from school yesterday and the wonderful weather.  Remember on Friday November 6, 2015 is a half day of school with dismissal at 11:45 AM.  Also, I will be sending home reminder slips about the parent/teacher conferences that will happen in the next two weeks.  If you have not signed up for a time please see me so we can schedule a conference.

On Saturday November 14, 2015 is the Lindbergh Holiday Boutique.  Our class is making a gift basket with the theme ARTS and CRAFTS.  Mrs. Dewey and Mrs. Deebajah have been collecting money and craft items for the raffle basket.  Thank you to all that have donated money or items.  If you have not donated toward the basket there is still time.  The basket is to be made by Friday November 6, 2015.  Also, if you have donated items to the basket please let me know how much the items cost so we can calculate the correct money amount for the basket.The Lindbergh Boutique is the biggest fundraiser for our school.  The money raised is given to the teachers to help with getting educational items for the children to use in the classroom.

This week we are learning about the new alphafriend Mimi Mouse and the letter sound M.  We are reviewing the letter sound for S too.  We are continuing learning to read to self and creating more books for our book boxes.  We are getting better and learning to have stamina while we read.  We are also learning about colors and learning a color poem.  We will be playing different color games and making a color book.  Our class is getting better with coloring, writing, and using scissors.  Please continue to practice these skills at home.  In math we are learning about patterns and playing counting games with number recognition.
