Hello Families,
This week we learned the letter s.
When you say s, the tip of your tongue touches your top teeth. It makes a snake
sound. The s sound is a continuous sound.
We are learning to read words. Most
of the students have mastered I and See. We have started working hard on
the, like and my. Yea! Please continue to practice these words at home.
Homework!!! Yea!! I love getting
completed homework. Please work on your child’s name and their numbers. Please
make sure that you do both parts of the homework!
Book orders are due by November
22. Books make great gifts.

Thompson
REMEMBER – No School
November 11th.
The canned food drive is in full force. The Beavers and
Ducks are competing for the bragging rights of bring in the most cans. Who is
going to win? Help your team win! Nov 18th is the last day to bring
in cans!
Friday
The duck and the beaver are coming to visit our school on
November 18, 2011. The visit will be in the afternoon. Morning kids are welcome
to come back with their parents and/or families. You may come back at 12:00 to
see the Duck and Beaver load the school bus with all the cans of food.
Consistent
attendance is vital to academic success at school, especially at the elementary
level. If your child is sick (don’t forget to call in and let us know that your
child will be absent) please keep them home until they are no longer contagious
but otherwise please make sure your child is at school before 7:40 each
morning. Tardies have a profoundly negative impact on academic progress. We
start our Reading block each morning soon after the bell rings to signify the
beginning of school and when students are late they miss out on valuable
instruction.
At Hawthorne we call home on each child absence and Mr. Beck
personally contacts the families of students with poor attendance (both
absences and tardies). The Sweet Home School District also has a truancy
officer that will get involved if a student has chronic attendance issues. If
you have any questions about the district policy on student attendance, please
contact Mr. Beck at 541-367-7167.
Thanks!!
A special thank you to all of the parents who have been
helping our classroom. Either time spent in the room or doing “Parent Homework”
at home. You are a huge help!!
