Dear Parents and Guardians,

I enjoyed meeting with you on Report Card Pick-Up. If you were unable to come in, please write me a note to arrange a time when you are able to pick up your child's report card. I will try to arrange a time that is convienient for both of us.

On Wednesday, November 26th, Room 204 will have a pizza party thanks to winning the most candy sold by a room. Special thanks should go to Nicholas Gober and his family who sold over $900.00 in sales. Wow! Thanks to all families that helped to make this possible. On Wednesday we will have the pizza party awarded to the highest selling classroom. Just in time for Thanksgiving!

This week we will be working on the following:

LANGUAGE ARTS:

We will review and take the comprehension test on Rugby and Rosie, the realistic fiction story in our OpenCourt readers. We will review cause and effect as this story requires asking what happened and what happened as a result.

We are continuing our mystery unit. This unit requires students to figure out clues to solve the mystery found in the books the children are reading. Mysteries also support comprehension strategies such as prediciting, summarizing, asking questions, making inferences, and visualizing as well as comprehension skills such as cause and effect, comparing and contrasting, author's purpose other  important skills that are needed to help students comprehension.

MATH:

We will continue to work on Unit Three. This week we will learn more about the U. S. standard unit of measure as well as reviewing geometric shapes and finding the perimeter of these shapes or polygons. We will have a quiz on Wednesday covering geometric shape identification as well as finding the perimeter of polygons.

HOMEWORK:
