December 11-15, 2017

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 all set up for an amazing week!  We appreciate all of their hard work!

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.

This week in Math workshop...
We will continue learning about 3-D shapes.  We will identify and sort the different 3-D shapes.  We will analyze and compare them as well.  We will discuss which 2-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.

This week in Science...
We will learning about weather and the air around us.  We will observe and record the weather in our science notebooks.

This week in Social Studies...
We will continue learning about calendars and timelines.  We will also be learning about different cultures and holiday traditions.

Our Life Skill of the week is Curiosity! Curiosity is the desire to investigate and seek understanding of one’s world.  We will talk as a class about times that we have been curious at school and at home. 

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