November really flew by! We wrapped up our unit on the Pilgrims and Wampanoags with our Harvest Celebration. Thank you to all who donated treats and paper goods. In Social Studies we have moved on to learn about the Puritans who arrived in Salem 10 years after the Pilgrims. We've had some wonderful discussions about the fairness of laws including the fact that only boys were allowed to attend formal schools and colleges.
In Math we have been learning how to find the perimeter of a shape and have been constructing line plots. We are also beginning multiplication. Please continue to encourage your child to practice their math facts every night. Automaticity is so very important.
We have been reading and learning about nonfiction text, which then extends in to our Writer's Worshop where we are writing our "All About" Informational pieces. The children are doing a great job writing about what they are "experts" in.
Next Thursday and Friday are Parent/Teacher Conferences. I am looking forward to meeting with all of you to discuss your child's progress.
You can go to Signup Genius if you need to look up the time of your conference:
