Mrs. Lawson's Classroom News

It was a short week, but full of learning and excitement. I hope everyone enjoyed their 4 day weekend. We moved some students around in class to new seats. I hope the enjoy getting to know and work with someone new. We also changed our schedule a little to better meet the needs of all the students in the school. We will only be having one special per day. That special will be from 12:40-1:40 each day. We will rotate to Art, PE, Music, Library, and Computers. I will let you know in my newsletter our PE day. We will also be going to the Successmaker Lab twice a week. I love successmaker. It is designed specifically at the level your child is working. We started our Thanksgiving Unit this week with a cute story called "Turkey Trouble". We did several literacy activities tied to the story. We made Long-legged turkeys and copied a poem. We worked on our sight words in reading groups. Next week we will be looking closer at the Mayflower, Pilgrims, Indians, Turkey, and the facts behind Thanksgiving. We plan to make a book to tie them all together and watch some great videos to help us learn. Important Dates: Nov. 12-16 Pennies for Patients. We sent home the box to collect coins to return to school on the 16th Wednesday 14th Return Tom the Turkey in Disguise November 20th Thanksgiving Feast @ 1:30 in the gym.
