Week of December 14 – 18, 2009

This week we will be focusing on the letter R in phonics. Friday will be show and tell for letter R and the test on our weekly word list.
In reading, we are finishing up the story A Bed for the Winter. We have learned about where animals such as squirrels, bears, insects, and mice find shelter from the cold of winter. Our focus topic for this week in reading has been to focus on the sequence of events in the story. The letter that we reviewed in reading has been the letter I. Next week we will read the story Whose Garden is it? We will talk about the animals that live in or near a garden. We will review what makes a story a fantasy story versus a story that is realistic.
In math, we are finishing up chapter 5 on shapes. We will be having a test on this chapter this week.
Please remember that Monday, December 14 will be day 2 in our cycle. We will have computer class.
Next Thursday, December 17 the North Schuylkill Elementary Chorus will perform at the High school auditorium at 7:00 pm. Come out and listen to our talented singers and musicians and get in the Christmas spirit!
Have a great weekend!
