I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to meet with me to talk about your children. I really enjoyed meeting with you and sharing your children's strengths. I am VERY thankful to have all of you as parents. I really feel like we are a team and I want you all to know the work you are putting in with your children does not go unnoticed. Much of their growth is a direct reflection of the time you are putting in at home.. So, THANK YOU!
We had a great week learning about compassion. Today we read a book called I Like Your Buttons about how giving someone praise and encouragement can cause a chain reaction of kindness. The buttons on your child's shirt is to remind them to give praise and encouragement. INDEPENDENT STUDY:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I would like to acknowledge Miles for receiving a Kindness award today. Miles is very aware of how other people are feeling and is full of hugs. He is helpful and treats everyone with kindness. One student was chosen from every grade level as well as one student from each nest group. Since we are focusing on kindness as a school this year, next week we will be learning about compassion. Each day we will learn a different indicator. 1. I treat other people as I would like to be treated. 2. I help other people. 3. I am sensitive and kind to the feelings of other people. 4. I encourage and praise other people.

Thanks for reading and staying informed! This week we have been working on counting strategies. They are count and scoot, count and touch and count and check. We use count and check when the things we are counting are on a worksheet like on the week's math homework. Put a check on the picture as you count so you can keep track of what has been counted. We are also learning about the teen numbers. These are tricky! We talk about teen numbers being "10 and some more." For example, 13 is 10 and 3 more. While reading The Relatives Came we learned to visualize, retell, and connect to the story. For art we made beautiful turkeys using oil pastels and water colors.
I have included four books in the homework folder for your child to read at home this week. We have read all of these books in our guided reading groups. Please read them each night for homework. It will reinforce the sight words we are learnings well as reading skills. REMINDERS:

Mrs. SilskiI'm thrilled to be teaching my sixth year at HRCCS! I went to Chico State where I received a BA in Liberal Studies, a Minor in Latin American Studies and my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. I taught 3rd/4th for eight years at a multi-age, project-based, performing and visual arts school in my hometown of Stockton. My husband and I moved to Auburn in 2007 to be close to the trails and raise our children, Robby (9) and Amaya (4). I enjoy painting, cooking, working in the yard, and eating my way through San Francisco. Archives
