News and Information
A Giant thank you to all of the family members and grandparents who attended Grandparent's Day on Thursday. The kids did a fantastic job on their reader's theater presentations and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with their guests! You will see some pictures posted below. I will post a few each week, so if yours isn't there yet, it will be soon!

Paper Grocery Bags Needed
Each child will need to bring a large PAPER GROCERY (or reusable shopping) BAG to school no later than Friday, Dec. 16. I line the bags up down the classroom and as I take down the holiday decorations they made I walk by and drop them in the open bags. The bag needs to be large, have a flat bottom and be able to stand up on its own. If you have a large collection of paper bags and would like to donate I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Book It Program: Keep reading for 20 min. each night!
Reading
We continue focusing on the sequence of a story or steps in a technical or scientific process. We continue to work on fluency, vocabulary, phonics and phonemic awareness each day.
Reading Homework: Back to normal- practice the sight words and read the fluency passage each night. Return the fluency passage on Friday for it to count toward your child's reading grade.
Math
- Addition strategies for double digit numbers
Students need to have a "toolbox" of math strategies in order to solve problems quickly, effeciently, correctly and by using different methods. Please be sure that your child is completing their math homework using the strategy for that day in order to be prepared for the next quiz.
- Using the 100 chart
- decomposing the numbers into tens and ones
English and Writing
In English we were introduced to adverbs and prepositions and how to identify them in a sentence. We finished unit 2 by reviewing and taking the assessments.
