Thank you to everyone that has signed and returned the field trip
permission slip. It is so helpful when I
get them back quickly! I still need 2
parent chaperones to join us on the field trip.
The price for the chaperones is $7.
Please remember to send
a lunch from home with your child on Friday, December 15. We will eat
an early lunch in the classroom before we leave, and will have a snack in the
afternoon when we return.
Reading assessments are going well. I will get info out to you as soon as I am
finished.
The Book Fair is here! Mrs.
Letendre and Mrs. Jones have working very hard to get the library decorated and

We will continue exploring different genres. This week, we will be reading different Fables. We will read The Lion and the Mouse, The Ugly
Duckling, The Fox and the Crow, and The Tortoise and the Hare! We will discuss the characters, setting, plot
(beginning, middle and end) and the moral of the story.

We will continue learning about 3-D shapes. We will identify and sort the different 3-D

shapes have been put together to make the 3-D shapes, and we will think about
where we can find 3-D shapes in our real world.

That's all for now! Have a great week!
