Did you see the title?? Oh my how it has flown. This leads us into one of the busiest times of the year...Holiday Mart. Each of our classes has a designated Library time throughout the week. We will also use that time, for us on Tuesday from 12:25-1:05 to check out books and shop for our families. This is totally optional but there will be items from 25 cents up to $15. An envelope was sent home last week that if you would like your child to shop to send a few dollars and on the envelop write down who they need to shop for tomorrow.
Starting in 2018 our Spelling tests will be the same but with a slight change for our Fridays. Starting January if your child has only missed one on their Pre Wednesday test, they will be given the option of redoing it for a 100%. It will be their decision whether they retry. If they missed 2 or more they will still have to retake their Friday list test.
This week we will be so busy with these target skills;
In Reading, we will start off with reviewing synonyms and antonyms. Then from there, we will read The Grinch Who Stoel Christmas and create a lapbook with cause and effect, summaries, sequencing, and comparing our traditions to the Who's. After completion of this lapbook, we will move onto a Frosty/Snowmany project that will also mix writing into it.
In Writing, we will complete our Dear Santa letters so we can send them to the North Pole by Thursday so we can possibly see if he replies. Then we will be working on a Frosty/Snowman writing adventure story.
In Social Studies we will look at saving and spending through the story Alexander Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday. We then go into discussing goods and services for a few days.
In Math, we are working on reviewing 2 digit addition through games and problem solving until we leave for Christmas.
