Reading and Writing
Make writing a regular part of your child's life. Leave notes to your child to discover (telling how well he/she has done or telling where an afternoon snack is, etc.). In the note, you might suggest he/she writes back to you as well. Have your child write invitations to have family members come over for special events (birthdays and other holidays) or to write "thank you" notes for gifts received. Any extra practice at writing benefits your child. December offers many opportunities for your child to write!

Math
Students had great fun adding 3 or more single digit number to get a sum. They learned it is best to look for 10s from the numbers in the list, then add the remaining numbers. They also continued practice of two digit addition. Subtraction review began this week-learning to subtract 0 from a number. This week, they also discovered attributes of geometric shapes; learning what an angle is. They learned what congruent shapes are too.
