I’m sure everyone is looking forward to a nice Thanksgiving break, but we still have one more week to get through!  We’re doing a lot of fun things in school this week. The turkey disguises that students are bringing in are a lot of fun.  If your child hasn’t brought it in yet, please have him/her bring it as soon as possible.
Here’s what else we are up to:

Math:
We’re enjoying some fraction action by learning how to add fractions with different denominators.  Remember, to add fractions, the denominators must be the same.  Find the least common denominator then just add the numerators on top, and the denominators stay the same.  See the video in the optional practice tab for more information. You can also find practice pages. 


Language Arts:
We’re working on finding the theme of a story.  As you child reads, have them share details of the story, and see if they can figure out the theme.  I’ve also included a spelling list for this week’s words for all of you that were concerned about helping your child become better spellers.
