NOVEMBER 2011

The girls are working on subtraction with double digits. They are also beginning to use money both in their workbook and with manipulatives. At the present time we are only working with pennies, nickels, and dimes. On Tuesday November 22nd we will be having a test on subtraction with doubles digits-no borrowing.

We were very fortunate to be involved in a webcast through cholastic.com. The webcast was a tour of Plimouth Village in Massachusetts and a visit with the Wampanoag. The children have written a short report about information that they learned from the webcast and reading comprehension stories about the Pilgrims.

The children will be creating, as a group, a large diorama of either a woodland forest, desert or the Arctic. They will be needing some materials, so please ask them which habitat they are working with.

Just a reminder that report cards are December 6, 2011 in the afternoon and evening.

Please be advised the girls should be on Raz-kids, mathletics, and spellodrome at least three times a week.

Have a Happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
