| We are so proud of the hard work all the students showed during our two remote days! We are so excited to be in our new spaces! During the month of December we will be doing two thematic units: The Gingerbread Man and The Grinch. During these units we will be incorporating different elements of the stories into our regular lessons. Students will compare and contrast different versions of the story, do steam projects to help the Gingerbread man cross the river, and perform acts of kindness to help the Grinch’s heart grow bigger. In math we will be using the Gingerbread Man and Grinch to continue helping us learn our numbers to ten as well as position words. We are excited to continue learning with your students! | In first grade we have been busy getting settled into our new space. Students are enjoying our new classrooms and playground! In December, we will be studying holidays around the world. Each day, we visit a new country and study their holiday traditions. In math, we are learning new addition and subtraction strategies to help us add and subtraction within 20. | In second grade we will be learning about Holidays celebrated around the world. In math we will be continuing to build our addition skills by learning problems with regrouping. Keep practicing mastering those math facts! In reading we will be focused on sequencing, authors purpose, and point of view. |

| Happy Holidays from Third Grade! This month we are finishing up learning about different division strategies and multiplication strategies. After Winter Break, we will be begin digging more into learning our facts and seeing how we use multiplication to help us with division. Please be helping your kiddo by practicing math facts each night. Using flash cards and playing math war (your kids can show you how to play) are great fun ways to practice. This month in reading we are focusing on Expository Text. We will be focusing on learning about Earth. While we are reading, we are going to focus on main idea and details. We are also going to be tying our writing into reading. Therefore, we will be taking notes on our reading, and identifying facts we are learning through our reading. Into the new year we will be focusing on different types of non-fiction texts. Please have your kiddos reading each night, and out loud if they are able. In addition, have them tell you back what they are reading about to help build and grow their comprehension skills. | Hello Mesa families! 4th grade students are making great progress in mastering multiplication facts and working hard to show PRIDE, both at school and home. We are making the transition from multi-digit multiplication to long division. Please continue to study basic multiplication facts at home, as it is critical for success in long division. We recently learned all about ecosystems and will begin our study of Earth Science. In Social Studies, we have learned about early explorers and will continue to learn how these explorers shaped our region. In writing, our focus has been organization and the writing process and we have even explored the elements of poetry! We are looking forward to a great winter! | Fifth grade will be doing some very intriguing academics in December and January. In ELA we will be studying different genres and learning about different cultures. Math they will be continuing to work on division and sharpening their skills. In social studies they will be learning about economics specifically what a bank does and how to invest and budget. We are super excited to learn about all these different areas. |
