In math this week, we will be spending most of our time on money. The dime is introduced and we will practice counting collections of coins containing dimes, nickels, and pennies. We will also do some graphing and addition problems.

Thanks to all of you that contributed to our Halloween party. The kids had a good time. Is there anyone who would like to be in charge of the planning and organization of the Christmas party???

Everyone seems to be moving along in spelling. Thanks for your help at home.

Have a great week.

This week we are reading another non fiction story called "Fun with Fish".  This week we also have a lot of new vocabulary words.  They are:

how

many

some

their

Most of our time in math will be spent on measurement this week.  We will be measuring in feet and inches.  

We will be preparing a Thanksgiving Feast on November 20.  Please be on the watch for notes about this.  I will either be asking for a monetary contribution toward the food or asking you to send specific ingredients to prepare this feast.  We will do the food prep in the room and then the classes that participate will share food and eat together in the cafeteria at lunch time.  The menu will be  posse stew, bread, homemade butter, and fruit salad.  Later we will have a pumpkin dessert in the room. I will need some cooking help, so if you can give us some time either on Wednesday or Thursday, please let me know.

Thanks again.
