We are very busy learning about the Pilgrims, the Native Americans, and how different their lives are from the lives we lead today. We will make Friendship Soup next week. Each student has volunteered to bring something in for the soup and the celebration, which will take place on Monday, Nov. 25.
We also spent a lot of time learning about veterans. The students made pictures for veterans, made collages about Veteran's Day, learned some songs about the military, and followed up with a lesson in Family Life. I enjoyed hearing about all the veterans in their families.
Please continue to practice addition facts. We are adding to 12 now, and students should be able to solve basic problems quickly and accurately. I appreciate the effort at home on handwriting. The students are showing much improvement in handwriting in all of their assignments.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
