o Mrs. Kaushik’s and Ms. Gettler’s November’s Newsletter In the month of November we will be talking about turkeys, scarecrows, leaves, cornucopias. We’ll use these topics in our writing, reading, math, art, and social skill instruction. We’ll talk about Thanksgiving Day and making crafts relating to the topic.
