Week of December 12-16

Upcoming Test:
Social Studies Test over Williamsburg (chapter 9) on Wednesday
Please encourage your child to take the online to tutorial.

Sing-a-Long
We are having our annual holiday sing-a-long on Thursday.  Our class will be joining Mrs. Stump's class in a round of "Feliz Navidad," so I am requesting that students bring in sunglasses and a scarf to go with our dance moves.  Please send these items tomorrow if possible so we can have a "dress rehearsal."

Holiday Party
Our holiday party will be on Friday at 1:00pm!  Mrs. Purdy and Mrs. Lossin are working hard to make it a blast and I can't wait to see what we end up doing!

Winter Break
Enjoy two weeks at home with your kiddos after Friday!  I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Here’s what we’re learning this week!
Social Studies:  We are wrapping up our unit on colonial Williamsburg.
Math:  We are beginning our annual holiday shopping spree this week!  This is a fun, realistic way to have the kids do pretend shopping on a budget.  They will learn to calculate tax, make economic decisions, and determine what percentage of their money was spent on each person.
Word Study:  Some of the kids are still confused about possessives so we are doing some review over these rules.
Writing:  We are continuing to write genre pieces and we are beginning to draft them on the computer this week.
Reading:  The kids will be having their final lit. circle meetings, working on literature circle projects and presenting them later this week.  :o)
