Week of Nov. 30th

Already going to be December......wow! Time sure flies........too fast!

Reading: Literature circles! Fun! The children will be reading books in groups on their individual reading level. They will be completing comprehension work along the way. I will be visiting groups discussing the books.

Math: 2 and 3 digit by 1 digit multiplication, mental math, daily math review

English: Adverbs, animal report

Spelling: Words with suffixes Check spellingcity.com for list 13. I will get the list added on Monday and also tell the kids which enrichment list to use.

Science: Animals We will be learning about animal cells and characteristics of various animals, as well as researching an animal of their choice.

Social Studies: Indian Regions....if we get to it this week. That is the only social studies we will do in December. We need to concentrate our time more on science this month. In January, we will learn about the SE region of the USA.

December will be a very busy month! We will be doing a few cool projects and have 2 very special days. Thanks so much to those that could volunteer! I couldn't do it without you! I will be sending home a letter about supplies needed for gingerbread houses. If anyone wants to donate a bar or 2 of Ivory soap, I would greatly appreciate it! We need the soap for Polar PJ day. I will also be sending home book orders for December. If anyone wants to order Christmas presents out of the order, either send the order in a sealed envelope or send it through the office indicating that it is for Christmas. When the order comes in, I will email or call you.

I wanted to say thank you to those that sent red or orange snacks to school for our Bedlam Read and Feed! It was a blast! The kids ate until they were miserable! :)
