Week of 11/13

Mrs. Gompers and Michael's little brother, Jax, came and read to us last week!

We had a beautiful Flag Folding Ceremony last week to honor all of our Veterans.

Dear Parents,

November is certainly flying by! I can't believe this is our last full week before Thanksgiving break. The kids have grown so much since September and it is exciting to see their reading skills develop and grow. We will start learning long vowel patterns when we return from Thanksgiving break. Here are your reminders for this week:

- Test folders will be sent home tomorrow. Please sign and return on Wednesday.

- There will be a Religion test on Chapter 4 on Thursday. A study guide will be sent home today.

- There will be a Reading and a Spelling test on Friday.

- If you could donate a jar of pasta sauce this week for Mercy Hospice it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

- Handbag Bingo in this Thursday night at 7:00pm in the Parish Center. Hope to see you there!

Have a great week!

Math
This week we will start our subtraction unit. We will learn that subtracting means to "take away." We will learn how to write number sentences and use pictures to help us solve problems. We will also use number lines and ten frames to help us solve problems.

To review for our addition test last week we worked in groups and practiced adding 3 addends together! The kids used our "Box, Add, Move, Add" to help them remember the steps. They did a great job!
