Hello Families!
As Thanksgiving approaches, we have been sharing what we are thankful for. I am thankful for so many things- including my class and their families! Thank yo for your ongoing support of your child and their learning. Thank you for your time and energy supporting the classroom through homework help, volunteering in the classroom, donating for parties, helping with home projects, reading with your child...thank you for being you!
Here are some important events/reminders:
Mrs Dahms' Store: The kids have been earning pennies for two months (exchanging for bigger coins at times) and FINALLY, the Mrs. Dahms store opened. The kids were able to use their earned money to buy items like pencils, small toys and coupons like "Bring a Stuffed Animal" for a day. An additional incentive for the kids is to save their money for a Dahms Dollar. Every every 100 cents saved, I will exchange for a Dahms Dollar. The first Dahms Dollar earned wins lunch in the classroom with Mrs. Dahms and a friend. The child also gets to spend the dollar in the store. It was a big hit this month!
Wave Field Trip: I am looking for 1 volunteer for the Wave Field trip on Wed. Dec. 5th (9:00-2:00). If there is a lot of interest, I will pick a name from a hat.
Holiday Book Order: Please consider ordering a book or two from the book order to help our classroom earn free books.
Stuff the Bus: Thank you for your generosity for this drive. Our school collected more food than our bins could hold!
Fabulous Fluency Friday: Every Friday one of our reading groups presents a Reader's Theatre script which they have been practicing throughout the week. The class will listen for great fluency and enjoy a new story in a fun way!
Ask Your Child:
How does an object get set in motion (a force)
How did you get paper cups to roll in a straight line?
Can you retell the class read aloud book- Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew- Thanksgiving Thief?
What is a constructed response?
Which book club are you in? Tell me what you know about your character.
