The Scoop
Room 5 News for November
What's happening this month?
We are wrapping up the ancestor unit and will begin our social studies rotations with the focus on map and globe skills. In the area of math, we will begin the regrouping unit starting with 2 digit addition. Then 2 digit subtraction will follow. Each week you receive the home-school connection for language arts. It explains the spelling pattern of the week, the reading selection, and vocabulary words of the week. It really is a short month for instruction due to the Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving holidays, but it is such a festive time to enjoy the beauty of the season.
A big shout out to Mrs. Hoopes who has so generously filled our snack basket every month with waters and snacks. Many children look forward to taking a snack from the basket especially if they have forgotten theirs. Anybody can add to the basket with fresh fruit, trail mix, pretzels,...Also, we need donations to fill our Treasure Box. Just remember they can be gently used items that your children no longer use or play with at home. If you wish to buy little prizes, those are welcome too.
