Science: We’ll work on different weather activities in our weather packet and keep track of the weather for the week.

to find out more information.
We’re looking forward to our trip to Oscar Scherer State Park this week with Mrs. Compton’s class. Be sure to return your permission slip and money.
Social Studies: This week we’ll read about the Native American people called the Wampanoag and how they helped the Pilgrims survive. We’ll read about the differences between the Wampanoag and the Pilgrims on the scholastic website.
Next Tuesday, November 24, we will have a picnic with Mrs. Davis’ class to celebrate Thanksgiving. Since we are not permitted to serve foods cooked from home, we will be ordering Subway turkey sandwiches. We’ll also serve fruit, veggies, drinks and dessert. I am asking for a donation of $3.00 per child to cover the cost.
On Monday we’ll go out at about 10:00 a.m. to play games similar to the ones played at the First Thanksgiving. Then at 11:00 a.m. we’ll enjoy a special feast with our friends.
Technology: The children will work on www.clicknspell, Gamegoo, and One More Story.
