Hi Everyone,
I sure hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! Thanksgiving is always such a nice holiday (my personal favorite). I love how relaxing it is, and I love spending time with family.
I haven't had any updates on Josey lately, so if anyone out there has any new information we would sure love to hear from you. We are still praying for her well being!
We had a great time at our Thanksgiving Feast, and loved getting ready for it. We learned all about the Pilgrims and why we celebrate Thanksgiving in the first place.
Christmas is always a fun time and we will be doing a lot of writing and creative activities in order to prepare.
This week our reading book will be "On Top of Spaghetti", it is a book about the song. We will learn it on Monday, so be ready to be singing this all week :) Our sight words are:
on
top
of
with
when
all
Monday's homework will be a Christmas addition page. Tuesday will be a "T" book, Wednesday the students will bring home a paper book of "On Top Of Spaghetti", and Thursday will be another "T" book. If you are finding these books too easy for your child, please read a more challenging book with them. Our class is quite varied in skills, so most of our students are finding these books a bit of a challenge.
Thank you for all your snacks and support. I really don't think I could do it without all of you.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Hamblin

Dear Parents,
Thank you for all your support and all your donations regarding Josey. Your money has been put to good use in the form of gift cards (gas, grocery, etc.) to help her family get back and forth from Phoenix. Josey remains the same and we still hope the best for her. She will need a lot of time to recuperate and will need lots of therapy and love in the days to come.

We are looking forward to our Thanksgiving Feast this Thursday and our classroom is busy getting ready for it. We are making the actual food on Wednesday, so if any of you would like to come by for a visit we would love to have your help!

Our sight words will remain the same this week:
out
in
the
hot
brown
desert

Thanks again for your support. Keep reading!

Sorry this is coming at the end of the week. Not sure what happened to this week! However, I have enjoyed listening to your children and their opinions on the election and our new President Elect. I was surprised by how much they picked up and understood about the whole process of electing a new president.
Next week our Special Person will be Jaden. We will look forward to hearing from him. We have enjoyed hearing from Felicia all this week.
Thank you for all your help with our Halloween Party…We had so much fun, and the kids were sooooo cute! Bella’s mom came and took pictures. Thanks so much Mandy! Also a special thanks to Jackson and Carter’s moms Heather and Kari who organized our party for us. It was so much fun. Jaden’s dad and Ira’s dads even showed up to help. You guys are the best.
Our story for next week will be all about the desert so our sight words will be:
Desert
Out
In
Brown
The
Hot

Next week we will be learning all about Veterans Day, and we will be doing all sorts of Thanksgiving activities.
We have had several children out sick; hope you all get better soon.
Our snack cupboard is looking pretty bare, if any of you could send in a bag of pretzels, crackers, or anything else, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for all you do!
Mrs. Hamblin & Mrs. Hamilton
