Opposites
Students will learn the concept of "opposites" as we enjoy many holiday books. We will review vocabulary words from this unit of study as we read through multiple books this week with a focus on various winter holidays from around the world. Students will apply their knowledge of "characters", "setting", "problem", and "solution" to the understanding of texts.
Looking forward to...

Dismissal Reminder:
If you find your child must go home a different way than planned, please notify the office by a phone call by at least 2:00 p.m. Teachers and our front office staff do not always have access to email or are busy teaching or helping others. A phone call is required. Sometimes we have only one person in the front office, so we want to provide ample time to be able to meet your needs.
