Dear Sope Creek Family,

We are holding our annual Holiday Bear gift card program and would like you to consider making a gift card donation to help our Sope Creek families during this holiday season. Bears with store and amount designations are posted on the main bulletin board in the school lobby.  Please consider helping by taking a bear and obtaining a gift card.  Gift cards can be returned to your child’s grade level counselor by December 15.  Your generosity will help to make this a brighter holiday for many of our children and their families.  Thank you in advance, and may each of you have a wonderful holiday.

Your Counselors

I Love this time of year!! Giving THANKS to all of you and your wonderful children for all you do!!  I appreciate all of your hard work and support you give me every day.  Sending in your children well rested and happy so they are ready learn!! Also, well prepared for the day!! We had the BEST International Snack day today!! Thank you all for sending in the food!!  We had food, and families from all over the world!!  We had food from Japan, Vietnam, India, Italy (several), Brazil, Bosnia, Scotland and of course from the USA!!  It was so much fun making those real life-connections to their learning with your help!!  We really had a Feast!!  I'd also like to THANK Mrs. Keller the most for coming up with  the lessons and activities to go along with our Nutrition across the curriculum theme!  She did an excellent job and the kids Loved it!! She will only be with us for one more week.  Her last day with our class will be Friday, Dec. 2nd.  Please have your child write a thank you note to her and we will do some kind of "celebration" on that day in her honor!

Remember NO SCHOOL all next week.  I will see your child's shining faces on Monday, Nov. 28th at 7:45am!  Next week, we will skip over to learning all about money!! Also, we will continue to become better writers by using more descriptive words in our writing.  In reading, we will be going over the blends - "sp, sk, sm" and reading with fluency and accuracy.  Be sure to practice your skills on IXL Math and Raz-Kids over the long break! We will be studying Landforms/Maps in Social Studies and then moving on to another American Hero, Thomas Jefferson.   Thanks goes to Maggie's mom for being my helper parent this week and Sofia's mom for reading to us!! Next week, we have Nate's mom as the helper parent on Tues. and the story parent on Thurs.  Mrs. Minear will be contacting you soon to sign-up for the 2nd half of the yr. as helper and story parent, so be sure to Sign-up if you'd like to do this. Also, please email me if you could help out with supplies for our "landform" cookies next Friday!  

Enjoy your family time and have a happy, and safe Thanksgiving! 

      Pictures from fun activities to share...Enjoy!

Go Team!!!  What another wonderful week at the Creek!!  Thank you so much for sharing your precious children with me every day!!  They are all learning so much and trying to do their personal best!! I am so very proud of them!!

Next week, Mrs. Keller, our student from KSU, will be teaching a unit on Nutrition throughout the curriculum.  On Friday, we would like to have a little "celebration" for completing our unit.  As we begin to study maps and globes, we would like to make the experience relevant to your child's life.  So I am asking all of you to discuss what country your family came from and try to come up with a somewhat healthy food from that country that you would be willing to share with the class (i.e. China - eggrolls) for our snack time that day! :)  Now we would not need the food item until Friday morning, but if it is something store bought, you are more than welcome to send it in sooner.  We have 16 students in the classroom and no allerigies, that I know if.  If for some reason, you recently found out that your child is allergic or should not be eating something, please let me know ASAP.  The food does not have to be anything elaborate..it could just be from America - Peaches...and only send in 2 or 3 and each child would just get a taste of your food.  It should be a lot of FUN!!

I want to thank Jack's mom for coming in to be our story parent this week!  The kids Loved your stories!  Next week, we have Maggie's mom coming in to be our Helper parent on Tues. and Sofia's mom coming in to read on Thurs.  Don't forget Library day is on Wed.  Bring back those books and READ, READ, READ!!!  Also, Tues, Nov. 15th is the Thanksgiving feast from the cafe for just the kids.  If your child wants to "dress-up" for our lunch on that day, they can, but the cafe does ask that parents please plan Not eat with your child that day. Thank you for your support and please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.  Enjoy your weekend!!   

What a wonderful week we've had the creek!  We really enjoyed our Science High Touch , High Tech In-School Field trip all about sound!! Be sure to ask you kids what they learned about vibrations, pitch and volume with Scientist "C". 

Also, we have had Mrs. Keller, our student from KSU, here every day to work with the kids.  She is excellent and the kids love her.  She will be with us until Dec. 1st.

Next week, we will finish up sound and begin with some maps, globes and nutrition.  Also, we do NOT have school on Tues., Nov. the 8th.  I will be at meetings all day, and hopefully you and your kids will be enjoying this beautiful Fall weather!  I hope to add a couple of pictures to the BLOG of the kids next week, so be sure to check it.  Please remind the kids to Turn in their homework every Friday.  Also, please send in a healthy snack every day and remember to send in an absence excuse note, you can get it off the website, every time your child is out so I can turn it into the office.

Have a great weekend!!  Let me know if you have any questions.
