Next week I will be introducing Mr. C!  He is wearing his colossal cap.  We will be spending time with Mr. C next week as Mr. B takes a much needed rest.  Mr. B gets the credit for inspiring the Room K writers, yes, I said writers!  He has that effect on children and this class is no exception.  The children have gotten the writing bug and are going crazy writing words, sounding words out and generally being curious about how to spell things.  Needless to say, I am thrilled beyond measure.  We are working in our Letter-Word Journals and learning a new word to read every day.  You can see them on our Word Wall, hanging just to the right of the door to our playground.  

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I am thankful for all of you and your dedication and commitment to your children.  When I give suggestions and see you act upon them, and then see the children making leaps and bounds in their learning, my heart warms.  So a huge thanks to those who are supporting their children's growth and learning at home as I strive to provide fun, creative and multi-level learning experiences in the classroom.

I look forward to meeting with all of you for parent-teacher conferences in December.

Welcome Miss A!  The children met her today and learned about the letter people.  Each week we will meet a new letter person and, explore the sound, write the letter and complete the pages in our Letter People binder.  Be sure to ask your child about Miss A!  She sneezes-aaaacho! when she is happy!

Please remember to send in your family turkey project if you did not send it in today.  The projects turned in today were amazing.  We shared them and they are hanging in the window now.  I will send them home next Wednesday so you can decorate your home for the holiday.

We are getting ready for our Winter Holiday Program, which will be on December 16th.  We will sing 3 songs and you won't want to miss it!

Our math will focus on sorting so give your children lots of opportunities to sort things at home.  Some great items are:
socks, coins, silverware, books (by subject) crayons (by color), sticks (you can find them outside and sort them by size), rocks, shells, keys.

As always, please stay in touch and let me know if you need help with anything!

November is an exciting month that always seems to fly by.  This month is packed with fun and excitement.  We have our family turkey project, that went home today (please get creative and have fun with this!), our field trip next week, and then a short week before the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Please remember to check for these important commitments:
-Monthly Book Logs
-Speech and Language Snack sign ups
-Parking/Ice Cream duty
-Most importantly, children need to be at school everyday, on time (unless they are ill).

Have a great week!
