Next week we will work on the letter R in phonics. We will have show and tell for letter R on Friday, December 17. We will also have the test on word list 6. I am very proud of how well everyone is doing on their words. Keep up the good work!
In math we are working on comparing objects by weight ( mass), identifying a missing piece in a matrix, describing the relative position of objects, and exploring and using a geoboard.
In reading we are finishing up unit 2 with the story "Whose Garden is It?". This story is about a garden and all of the inhabitants that feel the garden belongs to them. We will review realism and fantasy as well as setting, characters, and sequence.
This week we will be busy with Christmas activities. Monday is our Christmas music concert at the high school. It will be performed in the auditorium on Monday at 9:30 am. Santa is also due to visit our classrooms that day. On Thursday we are getting a visitor from the post office to pick up the letters to Santa and make sure they are delivered to the North Pole in plenty of time before Christmas. If you have not sent in your child's letter to Santa, please be sure it is sent in by early next week ( Wednesday at the latest). We are also going to be doing other Christmas activities throughout the week.
Our Christmas party is gong to be Wednesday, December 22 from 2 - 3:00 p.m. If you are interested in helping out at our party and you have your clearances on file, please send me in a note. Thank you in advance to those who are willing to help out.
Next Monday will be day 1 in our 4 day cycle. We will have art class.
Have a great weekend!
