Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!

Our Dolphin Thanksgiving

November Birthdays

Dolphin Digest

     First of all, thank you for taking the time to meet with me for parent/teacher conferences. I appreciate your support and I enjoyed the opportunity to converse with you about your child. In Friday's folder, you should have received a copy of the report card and a copy of the conference notes. The report reflects your child's attendance and the skills that will be evaluated in February. Please sign the envelope and return it ASAP. The paperwork is yours to keep.

     This week, we will introduce the final short vowel "e". We have a new spelling list and homework this week. We will continue with our discussions of our books' characters in Reader's Workshop. In Social Studies, we are learning all about the First Thanksgiving and the Pilgrims and Native Americans. The children have been amazed by the conditions that the Pilgrims had to deal with as they made the journey on the Mayflower to New Plymouth. We are planning to have a "shared " snack like the Pilgrims and Native Americans on Tuesday, November 26. I am asking each child to bring in "19" healthy items to share. Examples: carrot sticks, celery sticks, raisins, grapes, pretzels (please send package in so ingredients can be checked).
     Happy Thanksgiving!

Fire Safety Friday

We were lucky to have both firefighters from Stratham and Durham come and speak to us about fire safety on Friday. Be sure to discuss a meeting spot for your family with your child in case there was ever a fire. Also, it is a good time to check the batteries in your smoke detectors.

Sparky was a big hit!

Happy Birthday, Clara!
