Welcome back! I hope you all had a restful weekend! This week will be a short week for students. * There will be no school Friday because of parent teacher appointments and teacher professional development. ** Parent Teacher appointments are scheduled on Thursday Nov. 21 from 6-8pm & Friday Nov. 22 from 9-11:30am. French: This week we are finishing up our mini-unit abut our families and talking about our favorite thigns to do! We are well into our first couple of "Daily 5" componants and wiol be adding a couple more this week. Math: This week, we are working on lessons 5-8 in our ‘Numbers to 1000’ unit.  We will be ordering & comparing large numbers, skip counting using number lines and representing numbers using money.  Our test should fall at the end of next week. As always, for homework students are expected to have taken a book home to read each night.  They will have a new recording sheet to use; students will have a new sound sheet each night to practice/read over with that week’s spelling words on it. On Tuesday and Thursday students will also have a math worksheet to complete.  (This worksheet is a review of the last two days in class & should not take long to complete.  The students should fully understand the instructions before they leave the classroom.) Have a great week and I look forward to seeing you at parent teacher!Also don't forget the book fair this week!
