Just a few papers from school this week that I thought were really cute. His turkey! He is thankful for school, hats, friends, and God. Good to see he is thankful for school, friends, and God, but hats!! The child does not were hats, and what about his parents. Oh well, just what he was thankful at the moments I guess.
I thought this was really sweet. They did a lesson on the book, The Cat in the Hat. Then he was to draw a picture, and write about it.
His writing says:
The fish is pink.
The fish is in the water.
I like fish.
Fish are my favorite.
This brought tears to my eyes, since I am seeing what he is writing, before he tells me. I just love it. He isn't afraid to try and make a mistake. He sounds out everything.
This week at school they learned the word, went, to their list of words. They worked with the poem, Little Boy Blue. Math they are working on counting 20 or more objects. This weekend we played a cute game called Top It. (We all know it as the card game War.) However, so says Joey, when you win the cards you have to gobble them up. Yum!! Theme study this month will be winter celebrations. They worked on Hanukkah. He brought home some symbols of Hanukkah, as in colored in worksheets. So we bought Joey a Menorah on Webkinz, just can see the candles light each night.
Tuesday, the 8th he gets his flu shot, wish us luck he doesn't get sick from it!!

I love the turkey! It is funny to see what they write. They are often so influenced by what the other kids say. That could be where "hats" came from. Do you know if they use "Everyday Math?" That is the math program we used in Longview. I know well how to play Top-It. In fact, there are many versions of Top-It teaching different ways (They even teach adding playing Top-It: turning 2 cards over at a time and adding them together. The highest sum is the winner.) You can play Top-It with dominoes, too. I am teaching about Hanukkah this week, too. Just as an informational piece to you--Hanukkah begins on Sunday, Dec. 21st at sundown. One candle is lit each night for 8 nights. You can reinforce what he has learned by talking about it. Each candle stands for something. I would have to look at my notes at school as to the order, but they stand for faith, hope, giving, happiness, and strength. (I don't recall the other 3. I can send it to you, though, if you would like.)
My mom is in the hospital. They thought it was pneumonia. It is congestive heart failure. Please say a prayer.
Yes please email me the info on Hanukkah. Sorry to hear about your Mom. Many prayers for her.
