Weekly Update for 11/20/17

   "The ABC's of Thanksgiving"
On Tuesday, November 21st at 3:00 our class will be performing a short Thanksgiving program entitled "The ABC's of Thanksgiving."  We will sing some holiday songs and perform a short play about Thanksgiving.  Families are encouraged to join us for this special program.  


Reading Steps on Weekly Schedule
On the weekly schedule listed below, I will start to include the number of steps your child should have by the end of the day.  This number includes 2 steps (30 minutes) at school and 2 steps (30 minutes) at home.  Independent reading is the only homework that your child has each night.  It is critical that your child be reading 30 minutes each night.  When your child becomes even a few steps behind, it becomes increasingly difficult to catch them up.  

Reading Steps for Thanksgiving
Over the Thanksgiving break is a perfect time to catch up on reading steps.  Students are only required to read 4 steps or 1 hour over the Thanksgiving holiday.  However, this is a great time to read together and "bank" some steps for once we return to school.  


What are we learning this week?  

We will be learning all about the first Thanksgiving.

Math: SOL 1.4 Fractions
The student will:
a) represent and solve practical problems involving equal sharing with two or four sharers 
b) represent and name fractions for halves and fourths, using models.
