Today in class we learned about the characteristics if plays and practices roles in a new play about pilgrims and native Americans. We will be practicing this play all week and then we will perform it for the kindergarteners next week :)
In writing we began developing fiction stories about pilgrims and native Americans. We will be working on our stories tomorrow again and then we will type them on Wednesday!

Mrs zizelman (our substitute when I leave for maternity leave) was with us all day today. She also spent last Thursday and Friday with us. She has been working hard to memorize all the students names and has been spending every second getting to know the students academic levels as well as their personalities :) She will also be attending some of your parent teacher conferences with me in the next couple weeks.

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Don't forget to write me a note if you can bring a dish for our Thanksgiving meal next Monday! So far I have a turkey, green beans, apple juice and rolls. I still need mashed potatoes, stuffing, and dessert. Thank you!

Today in class we finished our Pilgrim Suitcases! We filled them with writing and drawing to show what we'd want to take on the Mayflower :)

In math we practiced measuring with a ruler and a tape measure. If you have a ruler at home, try practicing at home :)

Please read the thanksgiving flier in the orange folder!!
