Queridos Padres,

This newsletter will cover information for this full week and our short two day week before Thanksgiving break.

I love Thanksgiving because of how intentional everyone is about giving thanks. According to the psalms, coming to God with thanksgiving for everything should be more of a lifestyle than a holiday. My prayer is that we will be able to carry our thanksgivings far beyond this special day and that we’ll diligently practice giving thanks in all things. I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead and a great time with family and friends over the long weekend.  ¡Feliz Dia de Acción de Gracias!

THANKS !! A big shout out to all who have collaborated in the purchase of the shirts we have sold 32! Please help us meet our goal class of 40. Extra donations will be accepted as well. Feel free to spread the news on Social Media as well as by word or email to family & friends! If every 2nd-grade class sells 40 we will cover Ralph’s Christian School tuition for one whole year!

Here is the link!! Feel free to pass link along!

Thanks for your continued prayers for unity throughout this year! 

Blessings,

Literature Selection : ¿Pavo para la Cena de Gracias? ¡No gracias!

Reading: This week our reading focus will be fluency. We’ll talk about reading good-fit books, practicing high-frequency words and changing our reading speed depending on the text.
Writing: We will continue with our realistic fiction unit and will work on creating plots that are engaging yet realistic. This is always challenging!.
Math: They have gone to the market to buy fruits and vegetables and they have added and paid with the change that you have sent them! It has been a fun adventure. This week we will continue shopping and take the test.☺
Science: We had a lot of fun looking for the best solutions to avoid flooding on our local beaches. The students created models and talked with their group to find better ways to withstand the tests of rain and strong winds. Finally, they will create a poster to better explain their solutions. I can see future engineers in action in this group of students, very proud of all of them, tireless workers. After that, we will start a new Unit called What Does it Matter?

“Housekeeping” Items:
November 26:Thanksgiving food drive: In this time of giving, ZCS is going to bless His Harvest Stand, a local food pantry, with cereal and peanut butter. Encourage your child to choose a favorite box of cereal or jar of peanut butter at the store, and bring it to school by Tuesday, Nov. 26. A table will be set up in the front hallway for dropoff or have your child bring it to their classroom. Please help us fill the shelves of His Harvest Stand!
