THINGS TO SHARE!!
Promotional Photo #1    Author Phil Bildner will be at Gattis on Thursday, Dec. 6, and he is awesome! He has visited a number of Round Rock schools and the reviews have been excellent. He even does a writing camp for several of our schools. Here's his link if you want to preview:  http://www.philbildner.com

Hello Gattis Families!
Our Breakfast with Santa silent auction is quickly approaching.  We are still in need of some items by grade level to fill up a basket.  In the attachment you will see all the items needed for each basket.  Simply find your child's teacher and sign up for a item that is NOT highlighted in yellow and drop it off on Monday, November 25th.  PTA has a cart in the hallway where you can leave you donated item.
If you are interested in placing a bid for an item that is in the auction, we have a binder in the office where you can place a bid.  As we receive items, they will be on display in the main hallway display case across from the library.
Thank you for your support!
-Gattis PTA

Julia is are new Top Banana, however, we have had a lot of interruptions today with library and Mrs. Shanahan coming to visit, we just have run out of time.  We discussed responsibility and it is mine to make sure we get to her sharing time.  I feel awful, but I will make it up to her tomorrow.  I PROMISE, we are learning a lot this is why we are running out of time. 

Their spelling is different this week.  They need you to call them out because I will give an old fashioned test, due to the fact I am checking for meaning not spelling.  They know how to spell them, they are writing the wrong words.

We started off with Ms. Wolfean reading a homophones book, because this is are spelling skill.  These are words that sound the same, but have different meaning and different way to spell them.  We then headed into CAFE reading and met in groups.  Then we listened to our Ladybug lady give a lesson on responsibility.  ASK them about this it was cool.  Then we came back to class and began our new writing unit on How-To-Topics.  We will begin to write how to do or make something.  Finally we ended our day with a lesson on money, and how to complete the CGI.  It will be difficult tonight because it is new, please be patient with them.
