December 20th

Thanks so much to everyone for the special treats! And a BIG thank you to our room mom, Casie Patterson for always keeping us organized with wonderful parties and activities. We had a wonderful holiday party today, thank you moms and dad  :) for coming in to help with our celebration, and everyone who is sending in things for our hot chocolate tomorrow! Yum! If you were not here, you can be expecting a couple of beautiful decorations to come home tomorrow!
 Reading-Still in the middle of Winn-Dixie, we will finish after the break. I told the kids if they continued logging AND commenting on Reading Rewards for at least 80 minutes a week, they would earn two homework passes when they come back. :) Writing-We are finished with our 2013 calendars. We hope you enjoy the poems and the beautiful illustrations all year long. Math-We just finished our unit on geometry and after the break we start Unit 5 in investigations, a detailed letter about the unit will come home after the holidays.  Content-The French and Indian war has been the topic and when we come back, we will look at more causes of the Revolutionary War and we will be doing a Glogster project in class and at home. Directions will come home. Technology-If your child has not explained NearPod to you, make sure he/she does. We have been using it with our math number talks and just started using it with Social Studies. What an awesome learning tool!

I have added pictures to our private class album, if you forgot the password, just let me know. Don't forget to upload pictures you have taken!!  :)

Have a wonderful, safe holiday and enjoy those babies!
