The Happenings of Room 18.
Friday, December 18th
WOW!!!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful gifts! You all spoiled me! :-) The gift card will be going towards an apple watch that I have been wanting. YEAH!! :)
I hope that you and your family has a blessed vacation! I hope that you have lots of amazing time to just relax and spend with your loved ones. I am very much looking forward to spending time with my family in California, taking Elsa to Disneyland for the first time and watching the PCEP marching band march in the Rose Parade!
Here is an animoto that the kids made today - https://animoto.com/play/h1G1qsUCTewq49nDvV8Z0Q

Curriculum
Reading -
When we return from break we are going to be pulling out a novel to read as a class. I am looking forward to sharing the book, Bud, Not Buddy with them.
Writing-
When we come back from break we will be working on a persuasive writing unit.
Even though we will be reading a novel in reading, the kids will still have spelling words from Journeys. I'll send a sheet on the Monday we return with the words for the week. They will be doing week 13 when we get back. Don't forget.... Spelling words are also located on our website http://www.grayskiddos.com/spelling-words.html
Math -
We have started our unit on multiplication. Please have your kiddo work on their multiplication facts a bit over break. The kids will be exposed to partial quotients, lattice and the traditional methods. They will be able to do the problems in any method they choose. The goal is for them to be successful in one of those methods but they also need to understand how the other methods work.
Science -
We are working on our animal adaption unit right now. kids are learning about structural and behavioral adaptations.
Social Studies -
They did it again! All of the kids got a hot chocolate coupon from me for getting an A on their southeast states and caps test. We will start the midwest region when we return from break!
