Get Ready for Cold Weather!

BRR! It's Cold Outside
It is going to be very cold this week.  Please make sure your child comes dressed for the weather--NO SHORTS!  Please be sure to write your kiddo's name on all of their cold weather gear.  I have already noticed quite a few girls have the same purple gloves.

PTA is hosting a holiday family fun night at 6:00-7:30pm on Friday, December 9.  Here's the best part...IT'S FREE!  PTA is still looking for a few volunteers to help with some of the stations.  You can sign up here, Sign Up!!  They would greatly appreciate it!

Last week marked the end of the first Boxtops competition.  Mrs. Martin's class won for the primary grades and Mrs. O'Donnell's class won in the intermediate grades.  We took...THIRD TO LAST PLACE!  Say it isn't so!  I'm not sure if this competitive teacher will survive if our class takes last place in the next competition, so start sending in those Boxtops!

Here's a peek at our week,

Reading
Essential Question: How can you find your way around?
Vocabulary: locate, route, height, model, separate
Word Work: consonant digraphs-ch, -tch, ph, wh, inflection endings -es, -s,
Grammar: irregular plural nouns, capital letters, periods

Writing
We will be reviewing opinion writing before beginning our personal narrative unit next week.  We will also continue writing in our Elf Journals.

Math
We will start the week with a review of word problems, fact families, and other skills taught so far.  We will then move on to starting our place value unit.  This week will be focused on counting to 120 and working with groups of ten.

Have a great week and stay warm!
