Before break here are the things we plan to cover in the classroom.
Writing - we will be wrapping up our Opinion Letter writing that last week of school. The kids will write a final piece for me to grade for the report card. After break we will be working on How To books, which is just an introduction unit and will not be graded.
Reading - we will be wrapping up our unit on characters and be moving on to non-fiction reading. Our focus will be on the types of text features are found in non-fiction books as well as how to read non-fiction books.
Math - we will just be getting started on unit 4 before break. I will be teaching the kids greater than, less than, and equal to before break and we may get into adding numbers into the teens. We will pick up where we left off after break.
Social Studies - we will take our test in economics sometime next week and the rest of the time before break will be spent on holidays around the world.
I am looking forward to the Holiday Program next week Tuesday the 11th! There has been information coming home about this in the Park newsletter as well as a sheet of paper that came home today. The K/1 program starts at 6:30. The doors open at 6:00 and students can get dropped off in the classroom at 6:15 where I will be to get them ready to go on stage. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.
Lastly, there was no math homework sent home today because we haven't started a new math unit and I would like the kids to spend that time doing some extra reading this weekend.
Have a wonderful weekend!
