This Week

Brrrr!! What a cold morning! We will have Word Work this week. Please be sure you and your child are filling out and turning in the yellow sheet that is attached to the spelling words.

We will continue to work on the stories about a Place You Love in writing. We will finish these after break.

In math we are finishing up the unit this week and will take the assessment later in the week.

Remember that we are doing a food drive this week as well.

I hope you are all staying healthy and warm! Have a wonderful week!

December!

Welcome to December! Wow, I can't believe it! You should have received a newsletter on Monday about our December news. We are starting Unit 5 in math which is about 3-D and 2-D shapes. Also, I cannot stress enough to have your students practice their math facts regularly. They should say the answer within three seconds.

In writing we are working on a new story about a place we love. The students are really working hard already. I can't wait to see what they write!

In reading I have noticed an improvement in fluency with those students who have practiced. I continue to see areas in comprehension where students could use more help with in depth thinking.

Stay warm!
