Hello Parents –
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Holiday. Only 3 weeks and we will get Winter Break. This time of year is so hard to keep kids focused and working. I know that the yuckies have been going around, so remind kiddos to wash and use tissues to help keep down the germs. I try to clean the classroom with lysol everyday. Thank you for your support and help getting kiddos here in the morning and trying not to schedule appointments during learning time.
We will be having our Secret Santa Exchange on December 19 in the afternoon. Also December 20 is our Party, with hot coco and cookies. I will be putting the permission slip up soon and sign up sheet for anyone willing to donate items. Students MAY bring 2 snugglies that day and also wear their PJ’s for Dollar Dress Down.
We are learning:
Reading : Main Idea and Theme
Math: Adding / Subtracting Fractions with different denominators
Science: Testing on landforms and starting matter soon
Writing: Writing a good paragraph that has a topic sentence and multiple details that stay on topic.
We are reading the Christmas Carol in class and a few more fun books. I try to throw in some different curriculum during this time of year to encourage kids to come to school. I know how hard it is, Christmas Fever. But do your best to motivate them at home too. This is a great group of kids I have. Working hard and taking on the challenges of everyday learning.
Thanks again for all your support,
Mrs. Young
