Update Dec. 2nd

Greetings Families!

December is here and the crafting has begun! Throughout this week, in Language Arts we will be looking at: what it means to make inferences, r-controlled vowel / or/ our, capitalizing titles of people, and creating story maps with a "juicy problem" from a picture prompt as well as our selection "Hedgehog Bakes a Cake". For a fun treat, we will bake Hedgehog's cake on Friday. The selection, Spelling and Language tests will also be on Friday, Dec. 7th.

In Math we are starting our new Unit 4 more Addition and Subtraction. PLEASE practice the facts at home with your child - up to and from 18. It is so important that the facts are memorized at an early age for future math success. Also keep practicing coins - making change, counting various amounts, showing different coins for the same value. Thank you!!

We will begin our look at the holidays this week with the celebration of Hanukkah. We will look at the history, listen to a story and play the Dreidel game.

Our student of the week is Micheal Denton. Stop in and check out Micheal's favorite things!!!

Enjoy the Season!

Mrs. Scull
