Week of December 12th  
Our Holiday Sing-Along is December 15th at 9:30am.  You’re welcome to join us!
If your child does not know how to tie shoes, NOW is the time to learn!  Please teach your child over the holidays…  We will all thank you!
For spelling this week, we are working on MATCHING contractions with the words they stand for.  Your child will not be responsible for the actual spelling of the contraction at this time.  There will also be NO homework due this week.  The children will be matching in class on Thursday, and this will count as their test.  Thank you!
NO home readers will be sent home this week.  Please enjoy books from home.
We will return to school on January 2nd.  Happy Holidays!  Enjoy your break!

·        review 2 and 3 dimensional figures.
