HomeworkDue Now:
1. Religion Outreach Homework: bring your Thanksgiving basket items to school
2. Starting December 1 you can bring Christmas cards for your friends to school on any day of the week. Design your own cards! Try making evergreen "symme-trees" and decorate them for your friends. Or make your cards in the shape of a Christmas ball and decorate. Use your imagination! This is a great way to practice fine motor skills. Don't forget to address your cards with your classmates' names and sign your name too! We will deliver Christmas cards every day of the school week. If you want, make some for your friends in K-A, and we will send them over.
3. Sharing/Show and Tell Homework: On November 16 we will begin our third round of sharing topics. This rotation brings us right up to Christmas vacation. Our topic is "Christmas Traditions." Check the homework folder for the date, directions, and an information sheet about the custom your child will research and explain to the class. Web sites are listed on the directions page and I will add them to our links. Props and visuals are welcome additions to show and tell. Keep the sheet at home and help your child to practice. The assigned date is the next time your child is "child of the day."
4. Start to use your new practice folder to learn how to read and spell the word family for "at" and to read your color words list.

Allowing for various fine motor abilities among the children, it is when a child does his/her best to: form the letters correctly including name keep the page neat from marks, food, smudges, holes, and tears complete all 8 letters color neatly if he/she chooses to color Ongoing:
