Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
Please try to do Xtra Math at least two times over the break. Some did it at school today so they only need to do it once. I know the weekend might be crazy, so hopefully they can do it right when they wake up to keep up with their facts practice.
Next week we start our culture unit. We will be switching classes in the afternoon with all second grade classes to learn about a different culture around the world. We will learn 5 cultures and their holidays and celebrations that go with them. We are sure to learn a lot and have a great time.
We are also doing MAP testing on the computer for the next two weeks. Clydesdales will be next week and Appaloosas are the following week. Due to the culture unit and testing, we will not have a regular spelling and vocab test over the next couple of weeks. Also, parent volunteers can take the next 2 weeks off since we will be out of the room at different times for testing and culture. If we need any special volunteers we will let you know. Thank you!
Our holiday party will be Friday, December 21. We only have about 30 minutes on this day because of the early release, an assembly, and a concert on this day. Look for the information to come home soon on what food donations we will need. Thank you.
We are so thankful to get to spend our day with your delightful children! Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy the time with family and friends. Count your blessings and hold your loved ones tight!
