This week... reposted :-)  Excuse the technical difficulties!

Week of Dec. 9

Thank you so much for your involvement in the Christmas is for Children gift program.  The children loved being involved in making another child’s Christmas special!

We hope your enjoyed your “snow-really ice” days!  We will have many ideas for our writers’ workshop time.  We’d love for you to encourage your children to write about particular memories made this weekend!

In Language Arts this week, we will…
·        Continue to write small moments
·        Check for period use
·        Visualize while reading
·        Predict the end of the story
·        Review alphabetical order to the first and second letter
·        Sort words to learn word patterns and help our spelling
·        Build our vocabulary with a weekly read-aloud. We will be introduced to 3 new words.  All week, we’ll keep track of when we use them in our writing, speaking, or see them in our reading.  The new words will be posted so that we will have a reference for future use.
In Math, we will…
·        Add money to total $1.00
·        Count coins and total their value
·        Identify name and values of coins and sort money
·        Continue to solve our problems of the day.  We use “CUBES” strategies.  (Circle the numbers, Underline key words, Box the question, Ex out extra information, and Show our work)
·        Visit our math stations. Each station will have a math activity that reinforces concepts that we are currently learning or have previously learned. Your child will also be able to visit “First in Math” at some point this week.

In Social Studies, we will learn about Christmas traditions around the world.
