If there is a winter holiday your family celebrates that's not on this list please let me know. I would love to add a holiday your family celebrates to our list to learn about!
*In Social Studies, we will begin our new unit on Mapping. We will explore maps from all over the world and also our school map. We will learn about the features found on maps.
*In Math, we will focus on collecting data, using tally charts and bar graphs. We will also practice addition facts.
*Please continue to spend in water bottles to school with your child. We take frequent water breaks to refuel our body and mind for learning.
*In reading groups, we will focus on character's feelings. Students will write about how the character is feeling in their reading response journal.
*Our Winter Party is scheduled for Friday, December 20th from 1:45-2:30. I will send out an email shortly to check in with donations and parent volunteers. Thanks!
