Upcoming Dates \u2013 Wednesday December\n18- late start<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dec. 23 \u2013 Jan. 3- no school<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we return, we will have the\ncomputer NWEA or MAP tests in January.  I\nwill send a math packet home to go over with your child.  There are things that we will learn in\nspring, but if your child has some exposure to them (time, shapes, fractions,\nmoney, multiplication, division \u2026), it will increase their score.  Again, we will be touching on all of these\nmath subjects during the rest of the year. \nPlease send back the packet for credit, when you return on January\n6.  I will also send the old math book\nhome to keep.  There are pages that we\ndid not do that can be done for practice, also.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \nAsk your child if they read every day. \nSome students that are not on grade level are telling me that they are\nnot reading every day.  Practice is the\nmost important thing when learning to read. \nPlease make sure that your child does this during the break.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCIENCE – We continue to learn about\nbodies of water and landforms (earth science) in our unit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPELLING\nWORDS FOR NEXT WEEK\nARE again with endings \u2013s, -ed, -ing.  Please\ncontinue to point out the pattern of the spelling words each week and help your\nchild discover words with these patterns in their reading.  Soon, your child will be pointing these out\nto you, if they do not already.  A good\nidea is to get a blank notebook and keep a list.  Send them in for extra credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The words will\nbe: jokes, joked, joking, dumps, dumped, dumping, lives, living, lived, claps,\nclapping clapped, walks, walking, walked. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Studies<\/strong>– Our unit is, \u201cWhere my community and\nwhat is it like?\u201d   We are talking about\nthe directions north, south, east and west, as well as, directions such as,\nabove, over, under, beside, and next to. \nSee if your child can answer questions that you ask them with these\nwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations\nto Faiz Elkhali for being the current Star Student of the class!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday is pj\nday for the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday is\ncandy cane color day for the school.  It\nmeans wear red and white, if you want to. \nI make Friday afternoon a special day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
