We are excited to have our Veterans back in the building on November 11th at 8:30 for our Veterans Day Program. Our 1st grader choral performance will be such a highlight to celebrate them! Please note all visitors will be required to sign in at our visitors center in the front office. You must bring a photo ID. Due to limited seating, students with special guests will be joining us in the auditorium with our 1st grade. All other students will remain in their classroom where the program will be streamed to them. We encourage everyone to wear red/white/blue that day!

Reading/Language Arts:
We will be working on drawing conclusions about various texts we are reading using what we learn as we are reading, as well as what we already know about the topic. Using our inference skills will be key to drawing conclusions.
We will begin a new novel study on the exciting page-turner, Among the HIdden, this week! This is the first book in a 7 book series so be prepared for your child to request the next in the series!
