No school-until\nJanuary 6, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCIENCE – <\/strong>We are learning about bodies of water and landforms (earth\nscience) in our unit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPELLING WORDS FOR NEXT WEEK ARE consonant\ndigraphs.   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 be: arch, brush, chase, dash, ditch, hatch,\nmouth, patch, path, pinch, shell, thick, whale, whisk, wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Studies<\/strong>–\nOur unit is, \u201cWhere is my community and what is it like?  Ask your child to name the transportation\nthat they see in their community.  What\nare the physical\/natural characteristics that they see in their community\n(grass, river, trees, hills\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ornament Sale- Our class made candy cane bead ornaments to\nhelp raise money at the Ecology Club sale. \nThe money will go to a homeless shelter in Wayne County.  I also allowed one of their products to go\nhome with them.  We learned about making\nproducts and transporting them to market.  \nWe will talk more about economics in social studies soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sign Language- See how much your child remembers when using\nsign language to sing, Jingle Bells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Math Facts- It is time to buy your child math fact\nflashcards (the dollar store sells them) to help practice math facts.  Students should also use counters, if they do\nnot understand how much each number is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sprint pages \u2013 Some days there is not enough time to do all\nof the fact practice in our Sprint math pages, so I sent them home on Thursday\nin a red folder.  Please keep up math\npractice with these.  Notice if your\nchild is having trouble and help where needed. \nDraw pictures and go slow, if necessary. \nThey don\u2019t all need to be finished. \nPlease send back the folder and I will reward your child.  Please write a note if these are very\ndifficult.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Computer test will be in January (schedule to be announced)\nplease ask your child to read (many books in book bag or go to the library)\nduring vacation and practice some math.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I also have some\nwebsites to use on the back of this newsletter and in the BLOG.  Thank-you for all of your wonderful support.  The class and I are very lucky to have you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Birthday to Leith Mohamed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
