Mistletoe Monday!

Wow... one week before the Winter Break. We are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at our Author's Celebration from 9:30 to 10:00. We will begin on time since the children have a library lesson promptly at 10am.

We will share out voice thread of Senses Poems with you as well as the video of our Poetry in the Park participation. The children will share their personal narratives and also show you other writings around the room and in the hallway. If you are unable to come, please know that your child will not be alone. We will pair children with other groups so that they have a chance to read their work.

There will not be a spelling test this week. However, the children do have a Reading Comprehension sheet about Thomas Jefferson and his gift of cheese. The children are to read the passage and highlight a few vocabulary words. They are to write their own definitions of these words by using their context clues.

We will begin our unit in math on decimals as well as continue our work with multiplication and division facts.

Our grade level winter celebration is Thursday from 2 to 2:45. Parents are welcomed and we may need a few more helping hands.

Please help me to emphasize that we do have academic responsibilities this week. I am expecting the children to continue to do their best work.
