 Dear Parents,

 The holiday season is in the air! Just a reminder that our poetry program is tomorrow (Wednesday) from 12:45-1:15. The kids have worked really hard memorizing their poems, working on expression, and making props for our time together. I'm proud of their hard work and I know you will enjoy watching them tomorrow. If anyone videos the program and can put it on a DVD for us, it would be great! Also, our class party is Thursday, beginning at 12:30, parents are welcome to come.

  Reading For read aloud I have been sharing favorite picture books of mine with the kids, we will continue The Kingdom Keepers after the holidays. We have also been working on fluency with our poems.

 Math We are continuing our study of landmark numbers.

 Writing We will continue our study of Explorers in Social Studies after the holidays. The kids will practice different styles of writing to describe the life of an explorer that they choose. They will also create a Voki of their explorer on our web page. I'll send you the link as soon as we have them all posted.


We will continue a study of the Explorers.


We will be making Vokis of our explorers that the kids will embed on their  web pages and the kids will also create a Power Point presentation of their research.
