We had a great time at the Morris Innovative High School's Health Fair last Friday. The kids got to follow their food through the digestive track. It was very informative. They also got to see a fire truck, learn about karate, and play games. We are finishing up measurement in math and will be moving into telling time by the end of the week. Please let your child help you tell time at home. In reading, we are focusing on the main idea of a story. You can help at home by asking your child to talk about the main idea of books you are reading. In writing, they have just finished publishing their informational books. They will be in the hallway soon! We are now staring "How To" books. In Social Studies, we are learning about Georgia's Native Americans, specifically the Cherokee because they lived right here in this area. There are many wonderful places to visit in this area if you are looking for something to do next week. The Chief Vann House, New Echota, and Red Clay are all within 30 minutes of Dalton and make great activities. I will be testing math facts the second week in December so keep practicing! I hope all of you have a very wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy this time with your children!
