Bowling Party
We are going to go bowling as a class on Wednesday, December 16th fro 2:00-3:00. We go bowling instead of having a class gift exchange. The cost for bowling is $2.00. Please send the money as soon as possible. I will also need to know your child's shoe size. To save time, the bowling alley gets the shoes ready in the lanes we will be bowling in!!
Note: The actual cost for bowling is $3.50. We are going to use our Box Tops for Education money that PEP shares with us to fund the remaining $1.50. So keep collecting those Box Tops!

What can I reinforce at home?
Reading: Discussing cause and effect in a story. Sequence a story from beginning, middle, and end.
Don’t forget that students have vocabulary cards in their pencil pouches in their PAWS
folders. Please practice these often. Have them use the word in a sentence or even
have them write the word forming a complete sentence. Students will be tested over Unit 2 vocabulary at the end of the week!
Math: Discussing the relationship between addition and subtraction. (3 + 4=7 and 7-3=4)
Students are asked to draw a simple picture of the problem, provide the number bond, and generate an addition and subtraction math sentence.
Pathways: spotting the vowel in words and making the vowel sound. We have been working hard at spelling words with the -ng sound.
Handwriting: Working on the formation of numbers 1-9 and lowercase letters u, i and e.
