This year, our Student Government Association is sponsoring a Toys for Tots drive for our children in and around our community. SGA will start collecting toys from November 13 through December 4. Toys needed are for both boys and girls from newborn to age 12 and need to be new and unwrapped. The class that brings in the most toys will win a FREE DRESS DOWN DAY for the entire class. Please consider donating to this great cause to help children have a great holiday season!
What We Are Learning
Reading
In reading we will use sounds to decode words, think about what we read in many ways by asking questions about the characters, the setting, the problem and solution, how the character feels, and retelling the story using the beginning, middle and end. Please read with your child each night.
RL 1.7 Use Illustration and details in a story to describe its characters, setting or events.
RL 1.3 Describe characters, settings and major events in a story, using key details.
RL 1.5 Explain major differences between books that tell stories and books that give information. How characters respond to events, Identify and use key vocabulary (prefixes/suffixes, figurative language)

We are learning about past and present. We are learning how our communities changes over time. We will be exploring how transportation, schools, technology, music, dance and toys have changed over time. We will be using Google Earth to view from above how our school and community have changed. Some great ideas to explore at home would be to discuss how your family has changed by showing pictures of parents and grandparents, cars you have had, or places you have lived.
