Week of 11/27/23-12/1/23

Hello Room 11 Ohana!
Happy Holidays!  It seems that right after Thanksgiving, Christmas comes at us in no time at all! I hope you and your families had a wonderful Thanksgiving break!  
 
Now, on to a full week of learning and new experiences!  This week, we will begin Wonders Unit 3. Thank you for studying for our Unit 2 High-Frequency word test last week. You all did an awesome job!
 
This week, we will begin our "Special Friend of the Week" unit!  Our Special Friend this week was asked to bring in a few pictures of his family to share with the class. Each of us will write a letter to our Special Friend, which will be made into a booklet for our Friend to keep forever.  We are excited! 
 
We will be having an Alvah Scott Winter Wonderland (Craft Fair) on Friday, December 8th after school.  The first graders have been busy painting "Pet Rocks"!  Please come and support our first graders!  Thank you.
 
Let's have another wonderful week families!  Let's keep our lines of communication open as always.  Thank you so much for your support!
 
Mahalo,
