Notices went home last week about the food drives going on at school. Old Point National Bank in Carrollton, as well as Girl Scout Troops 179 and 1401 are collecting food for these drives through Friday.
Toys for Tots is collecting toys through Friday, 11/30. The hallway who collects the most toys will get a special treat. The goal is to "fill a school bus" to support the Smithfield High School Band as they collect toys to distribute to children in the Isle of Wight/Surry area. The SHS Band will come to CAES to collect the toys and maybe even put on a little show for us! They are also taking monetary donations.
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is next week??!! I don't know about you, but that sure snuck up on me!
Here is a look at our week ahead:
Language Arts:
This week's story: The Little Red Hen
Strategy: Summarizing
Skill: Compare and Contrast
Phonics: initial short e and double-consonant endings (-ell, -ess, -ill, iss)
Writing: complete sentences, capitalization, punctuation, 4-square organization of writing (these skills are ongoing)
Math:
We'll continue our patterns unit this week and wrap it up with an assessment on Friday. If your child could please wear things that are patterned on Friday (i.e. striped shirt, socks, anything that has a pattern on it), I thought it would be fun to have a Pattern Day as a culminating activity.
Social Studies:
Our trip to Chippokes last week gave us some great background about what life was like long ago. This week, we'll continue our comparison of life long ago to life today. We'll even look at what life might be like in the future!
Important reminders/notes:
- Book Fair ends Friday! If you send money in for your child to purchase books, they are able to go in the mornings before 9:05. It will also be open during the Second Grade Chorus performance/PTA meeting tomorrow night.
- Have a great week!
