November

This week we will cover the letters Y and Z. HOORAY, we made it to the end of the alphabet! This is a great accomplishment for these little ones! Make sure you look at their alphabet books and drawing books they will be bringing home. They are so excited to show you their awesome work! We will learn the sight words and, in.
We will have Centers this week, but because we are out Wednesday through Friday of the following week for the Thanksgiving holiday, we will not have them during that week.
If you signed up to furnish something for our Thanksgiving party, I will attach a reminder to your child’s homework packet on Monday. Our party is on Tuesday.
The Box Tops contest will end on Tuesday, Nov. 24. Thank you to those who have sent box tops to help earn money for our school! The goal is 800 per class—we have a ways to go to reach that, but every bit helps so please continue to send them with your child even after the contest is over. Another prize is coming in March. THANKS! Also, as you do your holiday shopping online, you can earn money for the school. There is a “box tops marketplace” website. Please check it out—we can earn up to 15%!
Thank you for all you do! Have a great week!
