This week we will
wrap up our first semester. We have had 76 days
of great learning in our classroom and I am so proud of my students hard work!
Our homeroom moms have been hard at work planning for the winter party. Thanks to all of you who signed up to
bring items for the party. I am sure the
children will have a great and memorable time. Hope to see you all on Thursday!
READING
This week we will
read our favorite holiday books including the Polar Express. We will work on comprehension
strategies such as identifying the plot (series of events that happen in order
in the story), main characters, problem and solution. We will also practice retelling, and
summarizing the stories in our own words.
WRITING
This week we will learn and practice writing letters. We will learn that people write letters for different purposes. Sometimes we want to express ourselves, or to tell some people about our feelings, our needs and etc. Other times we write letters to say "thank you", or make someone's day. We will write short letters and put our ideas in logical sequence. We will also learn about the conventions of letter writing such as date, salutation, body (text), and closing.

MATH
This week we will work on making graphs and reading graphs. Graphs allow us to put our information/data in an organized form and make it easier for us to understand the data. We will have some fun holiday related graphs such as gingerbread, reindeer, and snowman survey.

SOCIAL STUDIES
We will travel around the world and learn about customs, holidays, and celebrations. We will learn about the importance of various beliefs, customs, language, and traditions of communities and how communities celebrate their heritage. Our elf has been so busy traveling around the world. .
HABIT #6: SYNERGY: I value other people’s strengths and learn
from them. I seek out other people’s
ideas because I know that by learning with others we can create better
solutions than anyone of us can alone.
