Week of December 2nd
I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and got a chance to do something as a family during the week off. I can't believe it is already December and we only have three weeks until the end of the semester and the start of Christmas break. These next three weeks will certainly be busy as we continue with our normal activities and enjoy a few Christmas crafts.
The week before Thanksgiving break we did finish up unit 1 in our math curriculum and will be starting unit 2 this week. Unit 2 is all about non standard units of measurement. We will also continue working in our math journals. The students absolutely loved science this week, when we learned about different types of beaks. I have added a few photos in the gallery under Mystery Science.
This week before Thanksgiving break in positive actions Ms. Meesha played the kids a Sesame Street video about Thanksgiving and being thankful.
This week in language arts and reading we will finish our story How Animals Communicate and start our new story A Musical Day. This week we also have Art, the students will be making ornaments.
Once again the L.E.G.O reader is a way your child can practice their reading and reading comprehension at home in order to earn an award at the end of the year. Each time they finish reading the 40 books across the different generas the will receive a prize in library. They will also go into a raffle to earn a Lego set at the end of the year. There is an awards ceremony at the end of the year to recognize all those who participate in the L.E.G.O. reader program. If your child needs a book from a certain genera please ask and myself or Mrs. DeVore will help your child find a book. In conjunction with the L.E.G.O reader you child can also participate int the Book It program. Information went home this past week on the Book It program. If you need any additional information on it please do not hesitate to contact me.
Cheers!

L.E.G.O. ReaderTo practice reading at home I highly encourage your child to participate in our L.E.G.O. reader program. For each book your child reads they will fill out a reading response page and return them to their teacher. This program encourages children to read from a variety of genres. Below you will find the student tracker and response pages.
ReadingThis week we'll think about the question, "How is music part of your everyday life?" In the realistic fiction story A Musical Day, we'll meet a brother and sister whose aunt teaches them about different kinds of music. We'll also learn about a drum maker in the informational text Drums.
