Wow, it has been a busy week preparing for today's Thanksgiving meal.  It was a huge success with several families having an opportunity to join us.  Thank you for all of the supplies you provided for our costumes!  Just a few reminders:  Friday is school spirit day.  Next week is a two day week.  We will not have new words or an assessment next week!  This week we will be assessing the words: and, if, big, little.  We are continuing to focus on teen numbers.  We are learning all about Thanksgiving and why we celebrate it.  We are focusing on sounding out words to write sentences about Thanksgiving.  We will be sending interims home Monday the 23rd.
