December book orders due Dec. 6th! This will allow for them to come in before December Vacation! After Thanksgiving break we will be starting opinion writing! Kid’s love this genre of writing. Practice at home by asking their opinion of something but then having them give you reasons for their thinking. In math we will continue to work on anchoring (making) to 10 but we will soon start with subtraction. The strategies remain the same. A way to help at home is to have your child show you with coins, crayons, anything really, a math problem. Example 3+8. Once they have shown you that, ask them if they can make either of those numbers into 10 to make a 10 fact! Ideally they would see that they can take 2 from the 3 and give it to the 8 to make 10! This is called decomposing numbers.
Message from Mr. Thompson and Mr. Gobeil:
This newsletter will cover 2 weeks! As we head off for Thanksgiving Break we thought it would be a good time to share our thoughts on the importance of being Thankful! John Wooden once said “If we magnified blessings as much as we magnify disappointments, we would all be much happier”. There is so much in life to be frustrated about and there is so much that we want but don’t have. Thanksgiving, however, is a time to stop and reflect, not on what we don’t have but to for what we DO have. If we concentrate on what we don’t have we may never have enough. At HBB we DO have the opportunity to make a difference everyday. We are thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of so many kids and families and we hope that we are able to positively impact all our students and all our families. We take that responsibility very seriously and we work hard to make a difference, and we are very appreciative to have that opportunity. We are also thankful for all the amazing parent s and community volunteers that seek to make a difference in the school, the community and in the lives of our students and families. We have so many people that give so much of themselves for the benefit of others. Oscar Wilde once said, “The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.” We create our own reality and we have the power and ability to create the world we wish to live in. Stopping to be thankful for what is good and right in our lives, expressing that gratitude and taking steps to be the change we wish to see in the world is what Thanksgiving is all about. We wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and thank you all for letting us be part of your lives! Character Word of the Week Teamwork - Combined efforts, or the actions of a group, to achieve a common purpose or goal.
