THANKSGIVING
DINNER ~ FRIDAY, 17th
Parents, this year OPA would like to
invite you (parents only) to come to school to have Thanksgiving dinner with
your child. The cost is $3.00 per
adult. Please pay the secretaries in the
office and bring the receipt to the lunchroom.
Our class will be going to lunch from 11:40-12:10 (This time is slightly
different than our regular lunch time).
We also need parents to help serve pie
and aid in clean up either before or after you eat with your child. If you are interested in helping please
contact our secretary – Valerie Sluis
801-627-2066.
Kindergarten
will be hosting a Literacy Night on November 30th, 5:00-7:00
pm. This is a night where you and your
child can come and immerse yourselves in a variety of sight word activities. We will have lots of fun activities for you to
participate in and take-home ideas, too.
We are asking that siblings not attend.
This is just a night for you and your kiddo. Look for more information to come home this
week.
On DECEMBER 5th we will be going to the Ogden Nature
Center and are in need of 2 parents to ride the bus with us and help
chaperone. We will be gone from
12:15-2:30 pm.
If you would like to volunteer I will
take the first 2 parents that contact me.
Congratulations

We
learned about who a Veteran is and
why they are so important to our country.
If you or a member of your family is a Veteran, we salute you and are
very grateful for your service! Thank
you!
We
are also very grateful for our custodial staff at OPA! They do a great job at keeping our school
clean for us. We wanted to “Give them a HAND!” so we traced our hands and made a turkey for
them. Thank you Maria and Gabriel!
We
ate very jiggly JELL-O and then jumped over ropes while spelling the sight word
– was.
I heard one kiddo say, “This is so much fun!” YES, I agree!
Learning is fun!
LANGUAGE ARTS ASSESSMENT
Your
child’s Language Arts Unit 2 test is in their homework folder. Please, please
celebrate what they know. Everyone has learned something. Then take time to practice what they missed.
SPELLING SORTS
I
am so pleased with how well the kids are doing with their spelling sorts! Thank you parents for being so involved. Make sure you look at your child’s envelope
this week. I have moved a few kiddos up
into the next spelling group.
Take a look at some
fabulous sorting mats that were turned in last week!
We are continuing our exploration of 2D
and 3D shapes. We discovered that dice
can be the shape of a cube. We made an
alphabet cube and played a game. A cone
and a sphere make an ice cream cone, and a rectangle and 2 circles makes a
cylinder. Just like a can of Beef Stew.
This week we will have a SHAPE SHOW AND TELL. More details are in your child’s homework
folder.
FRIDAY FUN CENTERS
Friday, Nov. 17th
1:30 – 3:00 pm
This Friday we will be doing centers that are all about Thanksgiving and shapes. To
really be successful I need 4 parents to help run these centers. Please contact me if you would like to come.
I
will also need a few donations…
·
1
box of toothpicks
·
2
bags of mini marshmallows
·
1
bag of small size stick pretzels
·
3
pints of heavy whipping cream
Please
contact me if you are able to provide any of these items.
NOVEMBER 20 – 24
