Th"ank"ful Turkeys

     Today we made word family turkeys.  We thought of words that end with the "ank" sound.  Students did a great job coloring their turkeys! The turkeys are looking nice and colorful in the hallway.  We couldn't think of very many words that end in "ank." If you have any ideas, send them in with your child! We would love to hear the words you come up with.

      Our spelling test is tomorrow! It would be a great idea to go to spellingcity.com to review the words. If you use the link to the right of this blog, you can go directly to our weekly list. Mini-books are do for the signature challenge! I can't wait to see who read their mini-book the most times throughout the week!

      Tomorrow is the last day of "Spirit Week." We are dressing to show Canon-Mac pride! It is suggested that you donate children's toiletries. (hair brushes, hair accessories, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc...) We will be collecting change and other donations for Watchful Shepherd through this coming Tuesday.

      Speaking of Tuesday, we will be having our math test on Tuesday. I know the idea of giving a test the week of Thanksgiving seems cruel; however, it will be best to take the test before the break. We tend to get some cobwebs over breaks! :-) I know the students are looking forward to having a few days off and spending time with their families. I am looking forward to it as well!  My sister is coming home from North Carolina.

       Tomorrow we are having our feast! We are making butter and our hats for the VIP Day play next week! Thank you for all of your donations!!!! This will be a very exciting day for us!


Happy Thursday!!!!
