On Tuesday, we spent time in the barn caring for Rosie and Parker.
Wednesday was pretty special too, when we got to meet a PUBLISHED author!
This coming week is a normal week of school with our normal routines (math and reading minutes, word work test, recorders on Tuesday, etc.), but the following week is the week of Thanksgiving. We will only have school on Monday and Tuesday that week. That means we will NOT have reading/math homework or a word work test that week.
In fact, we are planning some special days that week.
- Monday the 21st will be spending some time with our kindergarten buddies.
- Tuesday we are going to celebrate the conclusion of our Analyzing Characters reading unit with a 4th grade celebration - we will be watching the movie of the book we recently read in our classes, "The Tiger Rising." We will make this a "comfy day" where students can wear lounge clothes or PJs and bring along a blanket and a pillow OR a stuffed animal (only one - either the pillow or the stuffed animal).
It will be a fun way to celebrate all we've learned, especially right before we break for a long holiday weekend.
MATH TEST - We are looking at taking a math test over multi-digit multiplication on the Monday or Tuesday of that last week before Thanksgiving. If you will be gone for any reason please plan ahead to offer your child the opportunity to complete that before the break. It's really tricky to come back to a test after a LONG break.
THANKSGIVING ACTIVITY: On November 21, each little one will bring in one cup of his/her favorite “dry” snack. For instance, pretzels, cheese-its, Chex Mix, craisins, marshmallows… We’ll then join our fourth grade buddies and take time for each of us to place our snack item in a large pot while thanking God abundantly for His goodness. This beautiful collection will be mixed and scooped up so everyone can enjoy a bit of the goodness that others provided! Isn’t that life…? We all bring our beauty and then, added with others, it’s a true gift!
