This week the children will learn about the long /i/ silent e.  They will read stories with words with the long/i/ silent sound.  In reading they will continue to work on sight words, decoding skills, comprehension, and reading for fluency.  In language they will be introduced to the present tense of verbs.  The children will continue to learn about the first Thanksgiving, Pilgrims, and Indians.  They will learn poems and songs, do special crafts, compare and contrast the first Thanksgiving and the Thanksgiving we celebrate today.
       On Friday the children will have a pow-wow in our classroom.  They will sing songs and poems that they have learned throughout the week.  They will taste some of the foods that the Pilgrims and Indians had on the first Thanksgiving.  It would be greatly appreciated,  if you would send something special for the children to taste that the Indians and Pilgrims ate on the first Thanksgiving.
       I am wishing all of you a safe and  Happy Thanksgiving.
