November 1st

Wow! It's November already!
We all had a wonderful time last Friday for our Fall Festival! Next Wednesday is Poetry in the Park. We stay busy here at Shorecrest!
The children are doing a wonderful job memorizing their poem. I know you will enjoy the event.

A few reminders...
The book fair will be held next week. The children will have the opportunity to purchase books through Thursday. I encourage you to stop by before school or afterward, but children will also be able to purchase books during the day.

Author, Sharon Robinson, will speak to the students this Friday morning. Please be sure to ask your child about the visit.

Spirit Day will be Friday, November 19th.

This week in class we will focus on:
Reading-We are working on our reader's theater production for our first grade buddies. We are also reading our class novel as well as stories from our Voices reading series. When checking out library books, it is important for your child to select books that they can read and understand. We will talk more about this in class. Have you checked out www.bookadventure.com yet?
Writing-We are continuing to write our personal narratives.
Math-The children are still in the unit of measurement. We will focus on area, diameters, and circumferences this week.
Science-We will stay in the unit of motion and design for the next six weeks.
Social Studies-Our focus continues to be on Florida's Native Americans.
We will have another homework assignment this week that will require them to access the glog on my blog.

Wishing you all a wonderful week!
