Nov. 16-20
It is that time of the year when we give thanks and count our blessings. I could think of so many things that I am thankful for, my health, my children, my family, many wonderful friends, this great community that I am part of... But I am especially thankful for all my wonderful 22 students. Each special, sweet, bright and talented in their own way. I am also thankful to you! You, the wonderful parent for sending your child to school well prepared each morning, for supporting his/her learning at home and for teaming up with me to make a difference! I am thankful to all of you!
FIRST GRADE FIRST FIELD TRIP
Our first field trip to Austin Nature Center will be on Monday, December 7th. This week in your child's Tuesday folder, you will receive a Field Trip Permission Slip. More detailed information are included in permission slip. Please sign the permission slip and send it back by Monday, Nov. 30th. Thank you!
Our technology goal this week will be to upload a few of our digital learning products to our SeeSaw Digital Portfolios! Please look for the letter that will come home in the Tuesday folder. It will give you directions on how to log in to your child's account and view their work. I'm really excited about this because it will give you, as parents, the ability to see our amazing learning in real time without having to come to the classroom!

READING
This week, we will read a variety of non-fiction and fiction stories about Thanksgiving. In non-fiction, we will dig deeper into important information vs. small interesting details. When writers write non-fiction, they include a lot of details to make the writing interesting. A detail is a bit of information about something. These details make the book or article more interesting, but the details are not the most important information. When we are learning about something, we can't remember all the information that we come across. We have to try to figure out what information is the most important.
In Fiction, we will review the elements of fiction such as the plot of the story, the beginning, middle and ending, and the characters.

WRITING
We will continue to tell and write the story of Thanksgiving in our own words. The students have written about the pilgrims. This week, we will write about the Native Americans, and the first Thanksgiving feast as well as how they worked together. As we write, we will be emphasizing on neat and clear illustrations, neat writing, and following the writing rules: Correct letter formation, starting with capitals, end with correct punctuation, and leaving one finger space between the words.

This week in subtraction we will work on the concept "part-part whole". Addition is adding the parts and subtraction is taking away a part from the whole to find the other part. We will work on problems that involve finding a whole, or a missing part. we will also re-visit the number line and use number line to solve the problems that involve subtraction. I have attached a youtube link about part, part, whole. Please sit with your child and have your child watch this youtube. It is a good practice.

SOCIAL STUDIES
This week in social studies, we will learn about the concepts of time and chronology. We will describe and measure calendar time by days, weeks, months, and years and create a simple classroom calendar and timeline. We want our students to understand and distinguish among, past, present, and future.
