The month of November gets us into the holiday season with activities about
the first Thanksgiving. We will discuss Native American people, Pilgrims,
turkeys and sharing. We will be reading and comparing different versions
of the folktale Stone Soup and how people were not happy to share with others.
We will make our own "stone soup" and have fun sharing it with our Big
Friends. This celebration has become a tradition at Thanksgiving for our
school. I hope you will be able to help prepare or serve the soup Nov. 23 &24.
We will continue to meet new Letter people this month, work on Topic 5 in Math
(numbers 0 - 5), and learn more about God our creator in the next unit of our
Religion book. We will also work on the November Fruit of the Spirit which is
Goodness.
The MANS conference in Detroit was helpful and informative. I think we were
all able to take some good ideas from the sessions that will be helpful in
class.
