Hello Parents and Students,

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Gingerbread Houses: Please read the pink form sent home with your child last week regarding our upcoming gingerbread house project. Included is information about needed donations and volunteers. Donations are due this Thursday, December 14th. 

OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE

Math: This week, students will have their first assessment for Module 3. The study guide wil be reviewed in class on Thursday and the test will be on Friday. We will also be working on gingerbread house math, Polar Express math and multiplication facts. 

Reader's Workshop: This week, we will start our unit on Polar Express!  This unit ties together a variety of language arts skills we have practiced throughout the year so far. For the next few weeks we will be reading the book, analyzing story elements, writing about the book, and as a cumulation activity we will watch the movie. After the movie we will look at similarities and differences between the book and the movie.

Writer's Workshop: Students will continue a writing project about family holiday traditions. 

Science: We will continue learning about forces. We will also continue supplementing Amplify Science with Mystery Science on Friday. 

P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Monday and Thursday for P.E every week. 

Music: We will continue with music lessons this week! Lessons will be on Tuesday and Friday.

Mrs. Palmer
