In Math, we began begin telling time to the hour.  We will continue to practice ordinal positions and numbers 0-10.

In Reading, we’ll begin Chapter 3, All Around our Community.  The first story we’ll read is, The Two Promise Walk.  We’ll discuss what is in our community.  We will continue to practice answering questions about text, along with sequence.

Today was our pajama party!  Thank you to all the parents who allowed their children to wear pajamas to school!  We did lots of fun activities!  We ate pancakes, made cereal necklaces, and read some special books!  It was a great day!

There will not be school for students on Monday, November 10th.

Our theme next week will be leaves!  We’ll do lots of fun activities with leaves and we may even get to go on a walk and explore all the different colors of Fall leaves!

The North Schuylkill Jr. Sr. Student Council is sponsoring the Feed A Friend project to help less fortunate families in Schuylkill County have an enjoyable Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner.  In an effort to help those that are in need, I’m asking that each student bring in one non-perishable item to donate to the Feed A Friend project. Donations are due Monday, November 17th.

Please be sure to send in $5 for your child’s Halloween and Valentine’s Day parties if you haven’t done so already.
