Dear Parents and Guardians,

Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Bakie from Monday, November 28 – Friday, December 2!!
Our class is scheduled to browse for book on Tuesday, November 29.  This gives the kids a chance to look for books and add them to their wish list which they will bring home.  On Thursday, December 1, we will be going back to the book fair to buy our books.  Please send in a check with your child for their purchase! 

In the Classroom
    
In Writer’s Workshop, we are writing personal narratives.  They will be writing a Thanksgiving memory which we call small moments.  They are also starting the process of writing an informational report on any animal of their choice.  They will be researching their animal using a website called Pebble-Go and getting books from the library to write down facts about their animal. 

In Reader’s Workshop, the focus in guided reading groups has been on fiction with the focus on comprehension strategies.  The first strategy they are focusing on is questioning.  Asking questions before, during and after a story helps us to understand the story better.  We have an owl named Questioning Owl who represents this strategy to the kids!

In Math, we have begun Unit 3.  This unit helps kids develop strategies for solving subtraction facts.  One of the games the kids seem to like is called Salute.  This game helps them find missing addends.  Please keep the number line at home if your child wants it!  We have plenty here at school. 

As always, please feel free to contact me if there is anything I can do to attend to your child’s educational needs.  My contact information is below.
