Welcome back! I hope you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving full of family, friends, and yummy food! It was so nice to have some extra days off and get caught up on everything around the house and at school. However, I am so excited to see those firsties today! At the end of the week we will start our Christmas and holiday fun! We keep Christmas light-hearted and fun (Santa, elves, etc.). Please let me know if your family does not celebrate Christmas, so I can adjust some of the activities for your kiddo.
We are back to the grind this week and back to our normal schedule. In reading, we will be investigating ways people help around the community.
The informational writing has proven to be much harder to master than opinion writing. We are going to take a step back and write a few how-to pieces together this week. We will also be learning the parts of a letter. We will be receiving a package from the North Pole later this week and will need to know how to write a letter! SHH...the package is a secret!
Math is all about the equal sign. We will spend the week learning the importance of the equal sign and that it means "is the same as."
In our science curriculum we will continue to explore sound and help solve our "problem." We will be working with tuning forks and brainstorm a device that will help us hear sounds over long distances to communicate.
I hope you have a fabulous week, and remember, you can call to chat about anything going on in you or your child's lives. Connected parents and teachers are the best team!
Wishing you well,
Mrs. Dimock
