               MRS. SEKULA’S NOVEMBER NEWS

          

Our fall school days are running quite smoothly, as we’re all very busy learning lots of new words daily, as well as

new concepts.  Listening and following directions are improving, too.

 

 

November is a special month to be THANKFUL.  Social Studies will find us learning about Life Long Ago, the Pilgrims and early settlers in America.  Also, we’ll discuss our families and what we like to do together.

 

READING continues to be very important, and we are all improving daily!!  Please listen to your child read every night.  Do not sign the reading log sheet if he/she doesn’t read to you.  We have learned all of the short vowels and the “th” and “sh” blends.  Next we’ll learn the long vowel sounds.  Our new reading series is very good and gives us many small leveled books as well as our hard covered readers.  Please cover the readers, thank you.

 

 

LANGUAGE ARTS finds us writing sentences daily. 

We’re learning to use capitals and an ending mark for every sentence.  We’ve learned nouns, proper nouns and contractions.  Thank you for sending in the 70-page spiral notebook.  We’ll be using it two or three times a week.

 

 

MATH finds us improving on addition and subtraction facts.  We’re moving up to the 12’s.  Soon we will start

3 minute timed tests.  Our next unit will be Clocks.

 

 

Thank you to all who sent food and treats for our Halloween party.  A special THANKS to Mrs. Ruchala and Ms. Steele for organizing and giving the party.  The children all had a good time.  

 

As the cold weather approaches, please send hats, mittens and scarves.  We go out for recess daily.

 

I look forward to Monday, our Parent/Teacher conferences.  Please come at your scheduled time, so we don’t delay other conferences. 

 

Thank you.

 

 

P. S.  A reminder—Please replenish your child’s crayons and pencils.  Both are used daily and they get used, broken and/or lost!  THANKS.
