Hello, There!

I hope everyone had a restful weekend! The kiddos are getting pretty amped up for the Holidays. I won't be hear on Monday, but we'll have a wonderful guest teacher Miss Brandi filling in for me. The kiddos will know her from her work in the cafeteria and lunch time and you may know her from crosswalk duty. 

This week is full of new skills and review of important beginning of the quarter skills. In reading comprehension, we will be focusing on identifying the problem in a story. Reading groups will be working on, "How can matter change?" In writing, we are still working on our How-To books. The kiddos are getting close to publishing again, so keep an ear out for the next writing celebration! In math, we'll continue review of missing addend, three addend addition, properties, and counting within 0-120.

As you may have hear, we have an elf visitor in our classroom. The kids voted on Jessica as a name and we've been writing letters everyday to the North Pole letting Old Saint Nick know what she's been up to! They are having a blast and are enjoying writing in a journal daily. We'll keep this up until Christmas break when Jessica has to go back to the North Pole to get ready for Christmas.

Again, we are running fairly low on snack. If anyone could drop off some donations of gold fish, pretzels, or crackers, that would be great!

Have a great week!

Mrs. Dimock
