I hope this week is a wonderful one for you and your family!
The First Graders will be busy little elves this week. We are making Hershey Kiss treat bags for the residents at Montgomery Nursing Home. I will deliver those on Tuesday or Wednesday. The Christmas book marks were mailed to the Veterans Hospital over the weekend and are sure to bring some well deserved smiles to the residents there.
Thank you for your generous gifts for the 4- 5 year old boy and girl. I was able to make 4 bags
because you donated so many gifts!!
The class is working in pairs to write and illustrate their own Nativity Story. I am very pleased at how hard they are working and how well they are working together.
Our Spelling words this week are: going, because, new, have, this said, make were, that, many
No Spelling Test ...we will be doing word study activities with the words during the week.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MANY BLESSINGS THIS NEW YEAR!

Week of November 22nd-24th!
I am very much looking forward to speaking with you at Report Card conferences!
Spelling- where, going, have, make, said, they, want, went ,talk, walk
There will be no test on these sight words but we will be doing different word study activities during the week. I just introduced ABC Order and we will be doing that as well.
Math- We will continue working on greater than >, less than < and equal to = as well as number sequencing.
We work regularly on counting by 2's, 5's and 10's! The class does very well!
We put our class bear, Bernate, to bed for the Winter. We will check on him (he is only under the table behind Mrs. Abate's desk) until he wakes in Spring. We ate nuts and berries for snack just like some hibernating animals. YUMMY!
Our Thanksgiving Books are beautiful! I will be giving them to you at conference time and I ask that you send them back after Thanksgiving so they can be displayed at the Curriculum Fair.
May God shower you and those you love with health and happiness this Thanksgiving.
