On Monday, we will celebrate Tavie's birthday and have P.E. Our P.E. time was changed this week to accommodate other classes whose P.E. will be interrupted by our music dress rehearsal on Wednesday morning.
In reading this week we will be rereading Living on the Land and Tops and Bottoms. We will be comparing the two texts and reviewing the skills from this unit: sequence of events, context clues, homophones, multiple meaning words, and monitoring our comprehension. We will also present our Inquiry presentations (I helped the kids make their first D2 Slideshow last week).
In math last week we will finish up chapter 4 and take the assessment. We may even begin Chapter 5 towards the end of the week. Throughout Chapter 5 we will be applying our knowledge of multiplication to describe patterns and find the unknown factor. The kids now really need practice on memorizing their multiplication facts, so please encourage your child to practice their flash cards at home!!
In writing we will be writing and mailing a friendly letter to Santa. We continue to improve with adding adjectives, adverbs, and figurative language to our writing. We will also be learning about action and linking verbs, irregular verbs, and verb tenses.
In science this week we will start our glider trials.
Please join us on Friday at either 10:00 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. to see the holiday program. The kids have been working very hard in music and it is always a great way to get into the Christmas spirit!! If you come to the 1:30 program you are welcome to take your kiddo home with you as soon as the program is over!
If you were interested in donating a new toy for Toys for Tots, they are being picked up on Wednesday, so please have them in by then!
I hope you have/had a wonderful weekend!
