Hanging in there!

We are hanging in there these last few, exciting days before break!
Announcements:

Monday is a full, regular day of School. Tuesday and Wednesday are half days with release times of 11:45, 12:05, and 12:20. We will not have lunch on Tuesday or Wednesday so please back your sweet scholar an extra snack to hold them over!


Secret Student letters. Today in your child's red folder are instructions to write a secret student letter. Please have your child write a letter on the provided piece of paper, color the tree on the back, and put it in the envelope with the secret students name on it! These are due back on Monday 12/20.


The upcoming week is a short one, which is perfect to review some of the concepts we have learned!

Language arts: Students will review some challenging Spalding words from this year! We will also work on alphabetical order and use our phonemic awareness to make words from other words. How many new words do YOU think we will be able to make from the word gingerbread?

Math: We will use the week to review concepts learned in math! From arrays to addition and subtraction with renaming, we will working hard (and having fun)!

Science: We will take our insect unit test on Monday, and make corrections if needed on Tuesday. We will also talk about what we know about the human body to prepare for our next unit in January.

History: This week students will use what they have learned about the Greek gods in order to create their own mythical god/goddess. We will enjoy some Greek myths and create our own!
