November 11th-15th, 2013

This past week we celebrated Veterans' Day by learning about the branches of the military and what they do.  We also talked about the history behind Veterans' Day and why we are thankful for our Veterans.  We did a writing craftivity where we wrote why we are thankful for our veterans and made bald eagles with our handprints.  We also attended the Veterans Day program on Monday and had a story read to us by a member of the Ladies Auxiliary.  The students also made cards to be delivered to local Veterans.  In math, we are now working on 2-digit subtraction with regrouping.  Math facts flashcards are going to be coming home this week for students to practice.  We are reading nonfiction books for Nonfiction November.  The students got to choose a nonfiction book from the library to read then did a book report on it.  We are working on identifying facts and new vocabulary.
