Welcome Sunny Wednesday!!

Our meteorologist was very excited to be able to change the weather today as the sun came out to shine!!!

Today we worked with identifying vowels and the number of syllables in a word.  We listened to Mrs. McNosh Hangs Up Her Wash to write and illustrate what we would hang up first, next, and last!

In math, we are learning how to listen to a given problem, act it out using manipulatives such as linking cubes, and then drawing out the problem to show how we solved it!

Unlike the cold weather that has come our way, we are learning about heat from the sun to acknowledge the sun as a source of heat and light!!

Today in social studies we learned about the state we live in: Texas!  We are working on identifying the differences and relationship between our neighborhoods and state!

Tonight your child has number handwriting homework for numbers 1-20!

Please make sure you are logging your reading with your child each night and send to school their Braums Book Buddy card to receive stickers for the books they have read!!

REMINDERS:
Wednesday Folders come home today!! Please read over all papers carefully!

Please be aware of the changing weather!! Please make sure your child is coming to school with a sweater/sweatshirt and is prepared to be bundled well to stay warm and healthy!

During the month of November, we are encouraging each child and family to support the ARK: St. Luke Catholic Food Pantry by bringing in canned/non-perishable food items!! This can include any canned food item such as vegetables, fruit, tuna, peanut butter, etc. or boxed items to include pasta and microwavable meals! Just as God has provided us, we are called to help others in need and to be the giving hands of Jesus! This is such an unique opportunity for you and your family to count your blessings, help others, and join in thanksgiving during this time of year!! Just imagine the impact we could make in others' lives if each day we each brought in at least 1 item for the collection!!! There is no limit to giving!!

Movie night is this coming Friday, November 8th!! Food concessions will open at 6:00p.m. and the movie will start at 7:00p.m. Admission is 1 canned food item (not expired)!

Book Fair is NEXT WEEK!
