I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful vacation.  Thanksgiving is a special time to relax and have a fantastic time with your family.  Ms. Wolfean had a great time spending her vacation with family and friends.  Our day was filled with loads of learning. We returned back to school full of energy, however they did remember their manners.  I am proud of how hard they are working.  We began our money unit in Math, and created amounts using dollars and cents.  We continued with our map unit in Social Studies and they seem to be enjoying the fact they will get to create their own maps.  In reading we have begun our unit on main idea and how stopping after two to three paragraphs helps us recall details from the story.  Please ask them to model this for you.  We are continuing on with writing and have begun our personal narratives writing about real or imaginary events.  Overall the count day to our Holiday vacation is off to a great beginning.
