Welcome back! Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

We got a new list of word wall words today, and we noticed a number of different word families and that we have already become experts with some of the words from already studying them. Our 2 lists this week are as follows:
-can         -add
-pan         -ask
-man        -came
-cat          -name
-sat          -ride
-as           -bone
-had         -save
-sit           -kite
-six          -cute
-ran         -mine
In the first list, we noticed the 'an' family with the words can, pan, man, and ran. There is also the 'at' family with words cat and sat. In the second word list there is the 'ame' family with words came and name, we also came up with fame, tame, shame, and game. We also took note that the second list has 8 words with a bossy e at the end that makes all the vowel letters say their name instead of sound. Keeping these little tricks in mind help us when sounding out and writing new words.

After Phys Ed we did a writing activity about our Thanksgiving weekend. It consisted of 3 papers folder over each other to make a little flip book. We had to write 5 sentences and and draw a picture for each sentence.

Following recess we had our first time block with the artist, Mrs. Stables. Ask me what we did with her today, because we started a pretty cool project!

We finally finished our oompa loompa art! They all look so good and unique.

Reminders:
-Please return library books so a new one can be signed out
