The Holiday Party will be on Dec. 22nd at 10:00 a.m.
This week:
We reviewed shapes, true and false equations, and missing addend in math. In reading we compared and contrasted Christmas stories. In writing, we added describing words to our story.
We made a Christmas newscast. Some students reported the weather, told us about their elf on the shelf or reindeer, reported news from the school and the classroom. They were very creative! I am hoping to upload it to the blog over Christmas break, as long as I can work the technology :)
I will not be updating the blog on Monday or Tuesday next week. This will be the last update until after Christmas vacation.
Happy Holidays to all of you!
Next week:
We will review nouns and verbs. We will discuss syllables and review goods and services.
The week of Jan. 4:
The words will be: ask go more see two
We will be learning about graphs in math and making our own graphs. We will have an author study of Jan Brett and find the plot of her stories.

This week:
We had a great week learning about Thanksgiving and what it would have been like to be a pilgrim. We read nonfiction and fiction stories about thanksgiving. We made connections to the books we read and recored them in our reading and math notebook.
In math, we found strategies to answer these type of problems 7+2= __+ 4. The students have came up with great strategies to find the answer.
We planned a pretend Thanksgiving meal. We reviewed goods and services as we found what we needed to make our meal. They found it is expensive to plan a large Thanksgiving meal. They had fun doing it.
We also made butter as they would have done in the past.
We welcomed Tatiana to our class this week. We now have 23 students and she is such a sweet girl, which fits in perfectly with the wonderful group of kids I have!
Next week:
We will be using reviewing things we have learned while making turkeys. They will make adding to ten turkeys, noun turkeys, and verb turkeys. We will continue to learn about living in the past and present.
I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving! I am thankful for your children!
