Last week of school for December–Yikes!!

READING-We will finish our unit about FOOD. Unit 4, Week 3 is about FOOD TRADITIONS.

STRATEGY-SUMMARIZE

SKILL-MAKING INFERENCES

WRITING-A List (A Menu)

LETTERS-C  c  N  n   (Review week)

WORDS-Have  have  To  to  (Review week)

OPPOSITES-We’ll explore Opposites (also known as ANTONYMS)

During the break, you might want to go back through my blogs and find the letters and words on which we have focused since September.  Remember that as we add new letters, we can make new words with letters we already know.  For example, in September, the first letter we learned was m.  The next week we learned a.  Put them together and you have the little word am.  Lots of possibilities exist.

Students should know all of the letters and words that we have had each week.  Since I write with them EVERY day since the first day of school, they have been writing many, many more words too, which serves to increase their writing selection of words.

PROJECTS-I hope you are enjoying the projects that are coming home.  Lots of math, problem solving, following directions, and opportunities to use those fine motor skills are involved.  More to come to help you with house decorations!

HEALTH NEWS-I have a case of Strep Throat in here.  If your child is complaining of a sore throat or seems “under the weather,” you might want to check it out.

REMINDERS…

*Please help your child remember to bring in their Book Bag on their appointed day.  The extra time spent reading at home sure is a boost for young readers.  Thanks for your help on the home front.

*GYM  days are Wednesdays and Fridays.  Gym Shoes are required for them to participate in gym class.

*LIBRARY DAYS are Wednesdays.  Library Books due on Wednesdays.

I think that’s all for now. 🙂

Enjoy this unseasonally warm weather.  My husband golfed yesterday and thinks he’ll be out again tomorrow. WOW!

Enjoy YOUR weekend.
