A message from Mrs. Smith...
It was a pleasure meeting you at Parent Teacher conferences! I enjoyed being able to learn a little bit more about your child through our conversations. I always encourage parents to email or call me with any questions. I can't believe we are approaching winter break in two weeks! I highly recommend taking the time over winter break to visit any local museums, libraries, outdoor activities, restaurants, and as always spending time with your families! Here is a website that shares places to go in Chicago and surrounding suburbs. http://www.chicagokids.com/ Be sure to click on the tab that is labeled, "Places To Go" for suggestions. I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and look forward to seeing your child in 2016!
Best,
Mrs. Smith
Remember to read 20 minutes every night and fill out December's Book It Calendar! It is due January 4th.
Math
Literacy
We recently start talking about character traits, which tells us more about the character from the inside through actions, thoughts, words, and feelings. The students will be exploring different literature books to see how a character's trait can change throughout the story.
Winter and colder temperatures are coming!! Please have your child coming to school wearing a hat and scarf, gloves, boots, and a heavy jacket!
Writing
Your child needs to have gym shoes on Mondays and Tuesdays for physical education (P.E.) class. They can't be wearing their boots!
