Hello parents,

I can’t believe 2019 is almost over!

A few notes:

-For math, we started module 4 which is all about area and how it relates to multiplication.

-For writing, we are researching information about the history of gingerbread and starting to draft soon.

-For science and social studies, we are holding off this week because of the break. After the break, we will start our science unit Weather Climate which is one of my favorite units to teach.

-We will be reading scholastic magazine and tie it in with our ELA which is finding the main idea and details.

-Wednesday 12-18 is late start, school starts at 9:35

-Thursday 12-19 is 1st and 2nd grade concert at 2:00

-Friday we will have our holiday party to celebrate our hard work the past months. Our party will be from 1:50-2:25 then we have music at 2:30. I will be ordering pizza and watching a short movie. If you would like to bring any treats for the class, we have 26 students.

During the break, make sure your child is reading daily. I will change their books this week but don’t forget to use RAZ kids and IXL (work on starred skills) as resources because I can keep track of their progress. This is also a great opportunity to practice skip counting and mastering multiplication facts.

Enjoy your long break 🙂

Good morning,

A few reminders:

-Friday students will take home module 3 study guide, the test will be on Tuesday (12-10). Please have students practice skip counting to solve for multiplication and division problems.

-We started a new essential skill for ELA which is main idea and details. It is a complex skill and will take practice. Students can practice using IXL and RAZ kids when they read an informational book.

-For social studies, we are wrapping up the unit for History of Michigan. It is a great unit! The test will be next week, Thursday 12-12. I will send the study guide Tuesday (12-10).

-Tomorrow we have a bake sale, please help the PTA by donating goodies.

Thank you,

Mrs. Attia
