December 9th - December 14th

What We Are Learning

Reading: This week in reading I have been busy doing benchmark reading assessments to determine your child’s reading level. I have been so impressed with everyone’s progress. Please keep reading at home with your child so they continue to improve.

Writing: In writing this week we finished our nonfiction writing unit.  Your child drafted, revised, edited, and published a nonfiction chapter book.  To celebrate their awesome effort and hard week, we had a writing celebration! Ask your child what their published piece was about.

Math: This week in math we continued a unit on fractions.  We learned how to divide circles and rectangles into halves and fourths. Ask your child what the word partitioning means.

Theme:  During Theme Time this week, we learned the difference between wants and needs.

Tiger Pride Assembly

On December 20^th, your child is invited to wear their pajamas to school. During this day, the whole school will be wearing their PJs! Also, we will have our Holiday Party at 9:00 and our Tiger Pride Assembly at 10:45. Feel free to come and enjoy the fun!

Headphones Needed

We are very lucky to have 5 iPads in our classroom.  Your child has access to these devices on a daily bases. Because they are used so often, we are in need of some good quality headphones that will be able to withstand being used so frequently.  If you would be willing to donate some headphones to our classroom, your generosity would be GREATLY appreciated!

Please practice reading, writing, and spelling our Word Wall Words. 

This week’s word wall words:

Last week’s word wall words:
