We will be having our first grade Thanksgiving dinner this Thursday in the cafeteria. This will be a special lunch that we will celebrate together giving thanks for all that we are blessed with. I ask that this not be the day you come eat with your child so that each one can have the experience of eating with their friends and participating in our special lunch.
This week we will practice our Thanksgiving Readers Theater that the students will perform for parents on November 21st at 11:45 in our classroom. I hope the students are also practicing at home. Guided Reading stations and groups will continue and we will conclude Chapter 5 in math on different strategies used in addition. We will continue to look at Thanksgivings past and present in social studies. Also, look for new spelling words this week.
In writing this week we will be writing letters to my son, Zack, and his fellow-Marines. I will send these with the “Snacks for Zack” that will be mailed out this week. Thank you to everyone who participated in this awesome activity. The act of giving was evident and overwhelming. I am truly blessed to work at an amazing school with amazing children and families. Thank you all for sharing with my family.
Please keep Zack and all of our servicemen and women in your prayers.
Mrs. Benson
