December 9th
I hope you enjoyed our Christmas Around the World Christmas Program! I was able to face time with Mrs. Best to watch our class sing their first song from the hospital in San Jose! The kids did an awesome job!
I'm excited to share this weekly newsletter with you to keep you informed about what's happening in our classroom currently. Thanks for reading!
RENAISSANCE LEARNING
HOUR OF CODE
FAMILY FUN NIGHT
Our next family fun night is scheduled for Friday, December 13th from 6:30 - 8:00 pm. Families can come and go as they wish. It is going to be a Christmas-themed evening with many stations such as STEM activities, crafts, storytelling, art, and much more! We hope you can make it!
NOTES FOR THE WEEK
This week we conclude Life Science, Chapter 4 on adaptations. This is a chapter with loads of concepts and opportunities for learning very cool things about plants and animals.
- Your child should be reading 15-20 minutes every night. Thanks for helping us to build our reading stamina!
- Be sure to ask what your child is reading in small groups, too.
ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS
This is Unit 3 Week 3 with new grammar, new spelling, and new selections and reading skills.POW
Your student brought home a POW called Dear Santa on Friday, Dec. 6th. This POW is due on Friday, Dec. 13th.
MATH
Many classes are working on multiplication and division facts and telling time. Keep practicing those facts - we've had quite a few students move on to their 100-fact timed test!
GENERAL NOTES
- Please sign the assignment notebook nightly. Asking to see your child's homework will go a long way toward helping make a stronger home-school connection.
- We use our Chromebooks and headphones or earbuds just about every day, so please make sure your child has earbuds or headphones.
- We love having a healthy snack for our mid-morning break. We also appreciate students having a water bottle at school - this helps keep them hydrated throughout the day.
- Our morning breakfast program is going very well! Students who are dropped off in the car line should plan to arrive by 7:40 if they plan to eat before the bell rings at 7:50.
