Community Clothes Closet Donations

Hello NDLC families. The service group has started a new fall project. We are collecting gently used or new clothing for the Community Clothes Closet located in Menasha, Wisconsin. During conferences this year you can drop off items by the school office. We appreciate all donations.  Conference dates (since we already had ours) are November 14 and 19.  

Important Dates and Reminders:

November 18: Mrs. Hurst joins us 😃
November 27-29: NO SCHOOL

Math: This week math will be all about exploring, practicing and solidifying our knowledge of the +1 pattern.  The students will learn the following poem and will make a book to show what happens when we add one to a number.

The + 1 Rhyme

1 small rabbit having fun,

Now I see another one.
1 plus 1 is 2.

2 small rabbits having fun,

Now I see another one.

2 plus 1 is 3.

We will also learn and play a dice game called Count On One.  Here is a link to the game.

Reading: Here are some things to work on with your SUPER READER at home!!

•  Have your child hunt for snap words they know
• Give your child the pattern on the first page of the book, then let them read the rest
• Encourage your reader to point one time under every word as they read
• Remind them to check the picture if they get stuck!

While we hope your child will be excited to show off these new skills, please know: one of our main goals is to have the students fall in love with reading.  Feel free to read the books that come home  to your child!

Researcher's Workshop:  This week we will do some independent research!  Each student will choose an animal to learn more about using books and iPads and will even create that animal using art supplies.  Our goal is to present these to the class to share our learning.
