What Happened This Week!
This week was a chilly, but productive one. As the weather gets even colder, make sure to write your child's name on all the items they bring to class, especially coats, jackets, hats, and gloves! That way, if the items get replaced, they can be safely returned to your child.
In Language Arts, we learned about the letter F. We also read about how trees grow. We really enjoyed the story "The Grand Old Tree" and we liked discussing the life cycle of a tree.
In Math, we started our unit constructing and deconstructing numbers 11-20. In Social Studies, we started our unit on Holidays around the World! We learned about Hannukah, Ramadan, and Kwanzaa!
Just a reminder: please make sure to work on your Family Celebrations project! That way, we can bring your unique home culture into our classroom!
Family Celebration Projects are due MONDAY DECEMBER 17th!
In Science, we continued our unit on Seasons and Weather.
What’s Coming Up:
In Language Arts, we will be learning about the letter "R"! In Math, we will continue our unit on composing and taking apart numbers 11-20. In Social Studies, we will continue our unit on Holidays around the world. In Science, we will continue our unit on the weather!
