Almost There…



       Just a quick update before the holiday break.  In math we continue to work with money.  Identifying and counting quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies helps with all kinds of math including skip counting, addition and subtraction.  Keep working with coins at home and playing Under the Cup.
         Your kids all read a holiday story this week (one of the books pictured here).


They worked on the Retell Rope and other comprehension strategies in their preparation for book club discussions.  They enjoyed discussing what they read with their friends.  They continue to make progress with the assortment of skills involved with the book club prep.  Their sheet should be in the folder.
         Also in the folder is a picture of the whole class.  Everyone got a copy, we gave directions for how to pack them and offered help, I hope they made it ok J
         Today (Friday) is a STEM Friday.  The students will be going to Mrs. Richardson’s room and making a catapult.  Hopefully they are excited to tell you about their design.

Upcoming dates:
Class Holiday Special Snack, Thursday, December 19th, 1:00 pm
Winter Break December 21-January 5 (first day back from vacation is Jan 6)
         I hope you all have a special vacation and have time for things that bring you joy and peace.  Thanks for sharing your kids with me.
         Happy Holidays!
