In Reading Workshop this week we are learning about the First Thanksgiving. We will discuss what contributions the Pilgrims made to the feast and what the Indians taught the Pilgrims to help them survive. Take Home readers will come home Monday-Thursday. No take home readers November 22nd and 23rd.

In Writing workshop we will be reading the story, The Scarecrow's Hat and we will write a story about a scarecrow. This project takes us through the writing process (formally) for the very first time!

In Math this week we will begin our unit on Patterns. We will review patterns the students learned in Kindergarten and make our own patterns.

A note from Mrs. C: I will be out on Thursday and Friday. Mrs. Langford will be my sub.

Enjoy your week!
Mrs. Caballero
