Full Steam 'til Winter Break:
In the 2 1/2 weeks of school, we'll be publishing a writing project, beginning a new unit on fractions, and READING EVERY DAY. Please encourage your child to continue doing his/her best on homework as well as using our eclass page to practice these skills as we have much to cover until our break. Thank you!
HOLIDAY SHOP: 12/6
**Extra envelopes are coming home in your child's Friday folder**
The holiday shop makes it possible for for children to experience the joy of choosing their own special holiday gifts for family and friends. We'll go as a class to shop on Tuesday, December 6, 2016. Coming home in your child's Friday folder is a Holiday Gift Shop announcement and an envelope that your child will use to bring money to school on the 6th. On this envelope, your child can create a list of people to shop for and you can help write in money amounts per person. This allows our volunteers help your child shop effectively.When we return on the 28th:
- Science: Weathering & Erosion
- Reading: Practice close reading with this Read Aloud (Your child has a question sheet for this story in the "Take Me Home" book bag.)
- Word Work: Listen for the rhyming words in "Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving".
- Writing: General Opinion Essay = no "I" or "me" statements...
- Grammar: Contractions
- Math: Play Relax Mode/Slow Fruit Shoot
Tissues Request
It's cold season and the classroom is almost out of tissues. If you're able, please pick up a few boxes of tissues to send to school with your child. Thank you!
