Well, we can definitely kick off the Thanksgiving holiday with being thankful for a mini vacation! We will not have school on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week. When we come back, we will have 3 weeks before we leave for Winter Break; it's so hard to believe that 2008 is almost over!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!

Thank You Veterans!
We have a short week this week, since we have Tuesday off for Veteran's Day. It is important for us to remember why we observe Veteran's Day- to celebrate and reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of U.S. service men and women. To learn about the history of Veteran's Day, check out this website: http://www.military.com/veterans-day/history-of-veterans-day.htm. Thank you Veterans and current military men and women for your sacrifice and service!!
In phonics, we are focusing on words with consonant clusters (-tch, spr-, str-, thr-) and contractions. Our vocabulary words come from our reading selection for this week- The Talking Cloth. In reading, we are honing our summarizing skills and noticing details in stories. In writing, we are finishing up our fictional narratives and looking forward to beginning report writing- yay!
