In math, students will be working with mental addition strategies.

Reading


Your child should be bringing home a book about every night!  Please be sure to check your child’s Family Notebook if book bag is assigned.  If so, the details of the assignment (the book title) will be written on the reading log found in your child’s book bag!


Reminders

December 24-Jan. 4th  – No school – Holiday break.  School will resume January 5th.

Be sure to send hats, mittens, scarves, and other warm clothing for outside recess J !


Read-a-thon
On Tuesday, December 23rd  our classroom will be having a read-a-thon in the afternoon.  The read-a-thon will last for one hour.  Your child may bring in books from home; choose some from our classroom or from the library to read during this time.  Everyone within our classroom will be reading the entire time including myself.  We will take a break in the middle and the students will have a chance to share al little information about the book that they are reading.
           Especially with the holiday’s right around the corner, the excitement level is rising within our classroom.  Your child has worked extremely hard already this year in his/her reading group.  Our read-a-thon will be a nice relaxing way to enjoy some of his/her favorite books before going on Christmas vacation.  If your child chooses, he/she may bring in a healthy snack to munch on during our read-a-thon time.
