Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter, Week of November 7, 2016

Monday, November 7-  Day 7, PTO Meeting at 6:30, Mock Election at NSE

Tuesday, November 9-  Non-rotation day, 2-hour data delay

Friday, November 11-Veteran’s Day, Fingerprinting Program for Kindergarten

Reading:  Our new story is: Bear Snores On.  We will be looking at Realism vs. Reality.  Our letter is Cc like in Cactus.  We will also be talking about adjectives for size and what a poem is.  We will be listening for Setting.  Our amazing words are: sleep, cave, storm, winter, woods, blustery.

Math:  We just started Topic 3, numbers 6-10.  We will learn how to read, write, and count numbers 6-10.  We will learn how to show those numbers in different ways. 

Science:  We will also be continuing our Earth/Sky unit and we will be graphing the weather for one week to compare the many different weather throughout the week.  We talked about Daylight Savings Time as well and did a whole lesson on Squash.  We read a fiction story, wrote about the 5 senses with squash, tried squash, and graphed if we liked it or not.

*****Please continue to practice sight words, letters, and sounds.  We have seen such improvement!  Please read a book a night and fill out the AR log accordingly.  It really helps to read daily to develop many different reading skills.

*****Please fill out and return the Field Trip forms if you did not do so already.  More information will follow.  Students are asked to wear dress code or better.  They should not wear Gym clothes, with a polo and dress code pants at minimum.  Students may wear Holiday Dresses or Clothes, even if they are not dress code.

******Now that Daylight Savings Time ended, no short will allowed at NSE.

******Thanks for your participation, cooperation and hard work!!!!!
