Class Curriculum
Writer's Workshop - Children have been sharing their expertise through 'How-To' writing. Next week they will be adding more details to their writing, using transitional words, and revising and editing.
Social Studies - Children will enjoy learning about holiday traditions from around the World. They will be transported to places such as; Germany, Isreal, and the Netherlands. Thank you to everyone who donated items to make this a fun learning experience!
Math -
First Grade - We are focused on strategies for solving word problems. Children will work with result unknown, addend unknown, and start unknown word problems.
Second Grade - Our studies in geometry continue, children will be learning about rows and columns. In doing this children will be developing the building blocks for multiplication. They will be designing a garden using rows and columns to calculate how many plants are needed in all.
Holiday Centers
I will be out of town Monday, Dec. 12th - Friday, Dec. 16th. Mrs. Susan Smith will be the substitute in our classroom that week, she is wonderful! Mrs. Carlson will be assisting her in our classroom next week. I will honestly miss these babies but will see them soon! Children will not have a spelling test on Friday, Dec. 16th, instead we will have it Monday, Dec. 19th.
sincerely,
