Hello parents! We have had a busy and productive week! I let them know… 3 weeks until another break and report card grades are due. We are going to be working on Benchmark Unit 4 during these weeks and strengthening our fiction writing and reading. The fiction story coming home this week we did together as a class to learn the writing maps and process. Next week they will start creating their own fiction stories. For Eureka math we worked on lessons 20-24. All of the lessons were subtraction with either drawing or using the stamp game in class. And slowly but surely we are finishing up the amplify life science lessons with the Bengal Tigers and chalta trees. Our days seem to fly by so fast we run out of minutes to get everything done!

Reminder that your child should be reading nightly! Everyday at pack up time I remind them to take home book bags. They should be reading nightly for 20 minutes. We want to keep pushing forward with our awesome reading growth and this is done by continuing to read and practice. I purposely give them easy, medium and a hard leveled book for their book bag each week.

Candy cane gram order forms coming home in folders today! Discuss with your child how many they would like to send and then send in the order form next week with EXACT CASH! Your child will bring the candy cane grams home to fill out. Send back completed grams to school by Monday, December 16th. Before winter break each child will get their bag of candy cane grams.

Reminder of Grinch movie night on Tuesday, December 10th at 5 pm in the gym. Parents must stay with children for the movie. Pillows, blankets, and pjs are encouraged. Food and drinks will be for sale by PTA.

Have a great weekend!
