3S Sensations
A Note from Ms. Salazar
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving holiday! The kiddos jumped right back into the routine this past week. We started our second bend in Information Writing, began learning about multiplication and division, started some cursive writing, and began prepping for Student Led Conferences.

Words Of The Month
December's Word Of The Month is Perseverance. We read a story about a porcupine who did not give up until she came up with a solution for her balloon at graduation problem. Since beginning our discussion on perseverance and determination, students have realized that many books have characters who persevere through obstacles to accomplish tasks.

Tens
We also play the game counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s. Soon, we will begin counting by 3s and 4s. Skip counting will help students as they master their multiplication facts and they absolutely LOVE playing this game. Even Mr. Bissinger joined in on the fun!
