–CLASS CHRISTMAS PARTY!! We are having a Grinch Party and a White Elephant gift exchange party, on Friday, December 15th. Please send a wrapped $1 gift to take part in the activity. Please do not go out and buy something big and expensive. Wrap something that another student in our class would want for Christmas. It can be something gently used from your house or something around the price of $1.00. Let me know if you can’t provide a wrapped gift for the White Elephant gift exchange and I will have something ready for your child. For the Grinch Party, the students can dress up in the Grinch theme: Grinch, Cindy Lou, Grinch T-shirts, etc. It is a Dollar Dress Down Day, so be creative! We will also be serving green caramel corn during the Grinch Party while the kids are watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas. It should be a super fun day!!! See the previous post for the food permission form.
What’s Happening in Our Class this Week!!
We are still working on our Holidays Around the World unit where we will be comparing and contrasting different holiday traditions, foods, and decorations. We will then write about these different holidays. We have starting writing on the differences between Christmas and Hanukah.
*We have a crazy week coming up, so we will not have any spelling words.
* In math we are working on MULTIPLICATION!!! Multiplication is a huge part of third grade and it will require extra practice at home to master multiplication. You can invest in some cheap multiplication flash cards found at the dollar store, or you can print these ones off. Just print them off, write the answer on the back and start quizzing your child. Multiplication Flash Cards
