I cannot believe this week is almost over. Next week, our students are off on their Thanksgiving break. Ms. Dani and I hope that you will all have the opportunity to relax with friends and family. We will see you again when school resumes again on November 26th.
The week of November 26th is Ms. Dani's last week with us. She will return to St. Michael's in January to finish her degree as a full-time student. We will miss her greatly. We were hoping to have a small classroom celebration on Friday, November 30th in our classroom at noon. If you and your family wish to contribute with small treats, such as muffins, cookies, juice and paper plates and cups, please let me know. We are also going to share our "All About Books" at that time in something we call an "Author's cafe". If you and your family wish to join our classroom for this writing celebration, please let me know. We would love to see you.
This week in writer's workshop, students continued their writing pieces on non-fiction topics. The students learned about glossaries and labels and started to publish their stories.
This week in reader's workshop, students continued reading as partners and in small groups. Ms. Dani and I will send home book bags and homework folders over the Thanksgiving break as they did not come home this week due to our shorter week.
This week, our students went for a nature walk at recess. They discovered birds and looked for signs of fall outside.
Thank you all for coming in to meet with me and Ms. Dani for our parent conferences. It was great to see you all again and talk about your child's academic progress.
Reminders and News:
No school next week. Thanksgiving Vacation.

Wednesday, December 5th (6:15pm - 7:30pm) for the Harmony House Potluck
dinner in the ABS cafeteria. Each family should bring some food to
share (a main dish, salad, side dish or a dessert), and bring your own
plates and eating utensils. Drinks and
napkins will be provided. {Please do not bring any dishes that contain
