Happy Friday!

It's hard to believe it's 70 degrees on November 18th!  I'll take it!  It sounds like the last 70 degree day we may have for a while!

Thanksgiving Feast 

As a reminder, here are the highlights:

• Please decide if your child is going to dress as a Pilgrim or a Native American Monday!  If you didn't send the costume in today, please send it in Monday morning!
• Each child is asked to bring in one piece of fruit for our fruit salad, please send those in Monday morning if you didn't today!
• If you signed up to donate something, and forgot today, please send in with your child Monday!  I think I have almost everything.  
• Thanks to everyone who signed up to help set up and serve the feast tomorrow!  You will be helping from 1:15-2:15.  Please come at 1pm, so you can put the biscuits in the oven and start setting up the cafeteria after 4th grade leaves lunch.
• Thanks to everyone who signed up to help make the food with the children tomorrow!  Please arrive at 11 (or you can come at 10:30 and eat lunch with us)!  I will have a paper with instructions on it.  You will have from 11-12 to help the class make the food.

Homework
We will NOT have a homework sheet next week due to Thanksgiving break.  We will resume our normal homework nightly after Thanksgiving Break.

Thanksgiving Break

Don't forget that we are out of school on Wednesday, November 23rd-Friday November 25th for Thanksgiving Break.  I will see you all back here on Monday, November 28th!

Santa Book
Don't forget about the book order for our gifts from Santa!  I REALLY want to place this order Tuesday after school so I don't have to stress about getting them in on time.  Please send in your order Monday or Tuesday so I can place the order!  Thanks to everyone who has already sent yours in.  Remember--you can just send in $1 to get a book!

Superkids
Today we met our new Superkid...actually 3 new Superkids!  Today we met best friends Tic, Tac, and Toc!  Here are some questions to prompt discussion at home:
What are the new Superkids? Tic, Tac, Toc
What sound do their names start with? /t/
What do Tic, Tac, and Toc like to do? Jump on a trampoline, play trumpet, and they call themselves triple trouble.

Math
Here are some things we have been working on this week and will finish next week in math:

• "Tricky" teen numbers
• building hexagons and trapezoids from other shapes
• building numbers with colored cubes
• exploring and comparing weight and capacity
• solving pattern block puzzles

Creekside Spirit Wear
I will send Creekside Spirit Wear order forms home on Monday.  All order forms are due by November 30th.

Have a great weekend!
