THE THANKSGIVING FEAST WAS A BLAST!! Thank you very much to all the parents
who joined us on Thursday to celebrate together all our blessings! The food
was so yummy and we had such a great time eating, singing, and hanging out
with you!
The Read-A-Thon was a HUGE success! Thank you to everyone for
participating. The final results are being tallied right now! We will have
the results very soon!
A very special thank you to Katie's mom, Susannah Balish, who was our Read-A-

Beginning this month we will be learning about a new author each month.
This month our author is Marc Brown of Arthur fame. Please feel free to
send any of your Arthur favorites to share with the class. Please make sure
all books are labeled so they can be returned at the end of the month!
We had a great time celebrating Ben King's birthday on Friday!
We had a great time with Henry's mom, Liz Mastrion, who stopped by to
decorate cookies with us during Fun Friday. YUM! YUM! We were also treated
to some of Charlie's favorite books when his mom, Katherine Reed, stopped by
for Parent Reader.
We are looking forward to our next Fun Friday Parent and Parent Reader when
we return from Thanksgiving Break.
This week in kindergarten we will create a Thanksgiving graph as well as
practice our addition skills. Thank you for sending in family games to share
last week. Game Day was a great success. Please let me know if you are
missing your game or any game pieces.

lists. We will continue our Lucy Caulkins series in January.
