Wow how times flies!

I am amazed that it is already Thanksgiving!  We have been in school nearly 70 days.  The students have fallen into a groove and are making great progress.  This last week headed into Thanksgiving we have been studying Native Americans and turkeys.  The students have learned what different tribes ate, the type of houses they lived in, and about how they dressed.  What did you think about their turquoise necklaces?!  
The new sight words are in, it, and is.  Your student has been introduced to 13 sight words!   Sight words really are key to early reading so please continue to review these at home. 
Thank you all for your participation and cooperation in the report card conferences.  The connection between school and home is so important.  I tell the other teachers all the time that I really do have the best parents.  You have all been great to work with and really care about your child's education.  Thank you so much!
