Our final week before break and here we go….<\/p>\n

READING-We spent some time today learning some FACTS about reindeer.\u00a0 When I first asked them what they already knew about\u00a0reindeer,\u00a0<\/em>they said things like-“they are magical” “they can fly”\u00a0 “they have a red nose” etc.\u00a0 So we went on a fact-finding mission.\u00a0 After reading some information about\u00a0reindeer,\u00a0<\/em>I typed up some facts and non-factual thoughts and had them place the information accordingly.\u00a0 That’s coming home tonight.\u00a0 (Ask your child about a\u00a0reindeer’s\u00a0<\/em>nose.)<\/p>\n

We also made a big chart about\u00a0reindeer.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Reindeer<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0can\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0have\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0are<\/p>\n

WRITING-Informational<\/p>\n

WORDS-run\u00a0 \u00a0find\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

LETTERS-We will be working with short vowels this week.\u00a0 Today’s vowels are\u00a0a<\/strong> (as in\u00a0apple)\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0 i (<\/strong>as in\u00a0igloo).<\/strong>\u00a0 Tomorrow we will make a chart using words with those letters in the words.\u00a0 We need to read carefully!!!<\/p>\n

For example, fa<\/strong>t\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0fi<\/strong>t\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0ta<\/strong>n\u00a0 \u00a0ti<\/strong>n<\/p>\n

MATH-We will practice and review counting on up to 10.<\/p>\n

For example, :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Count out 10 spoons and put them all behind your back.\u00a0 \u00a010<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. Reach back and pull out some of the spoons.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a03<\/p>\n

    3. Have your child tell you how many are still behind your back.\u00a0 \u00a07<\/p>\n

    4. Then have them tell you the number sentence that goes with the problem.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a03+7=10<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    On Thursday, students from our STAND (Students Taking A New Direction) group will be selling personalized Santa hats for $2.00.\u00a0 If you would like your child to purchase one, please send in $2.00 on Thursday.\u00a0 They will probably want to wear their hat on Friday for our All-School Sing-a-Long.<\/p>\n

    I am glad to be back with “my kids.”\u00a0 I missed them so much.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Have a good rest of the week.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n
