Reading

We are continuing with our reading groups during “Read to Self” and “Read to Someone” time. These groups have been receiving photocopied versions of the books we have been reading in class. Please have your child reread these at home for the week during their home reading time. We continue to read out loud the novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and as you have seen by the permission form sent home we will be going to see the rehearsal at the High School on December 14th.

Writing

In Writing, we have been working hard on our India Travel Blog Post. Once students have the blog completed I will be posting them on our class blog. You can write comments and give feedback to them at that point. I will also be sending home a rubric with self and teacher evaluation. We will also be writing journal entries and poetry about the Holiday Season during the Month of December.

Math

In Math, we are continuing to study about numbers from 100 to 1000.  

Christmas items.

As a class we will have a reused book exchange (Secret Santa) on Dec. 22 . Each child will be pulling a name – doing nice things for them all December and giving them a reused book (or one from my class if they don’t happen to have any at home that they think their friend would like).

Our Kindness Jar will hopefully be full by the end of the month and we will decide on what gift we might give to a senior in the community (CCHS – Christmas tree gifts).
