Thank you to Kade and Jaxton’s families for participating in our Christmas Family Writing project! It’s not too late to send YOUR’S in! Mrs. Henderson would like for your family to participate in a Christmas Family Writing Assignment. Please allow each member of your family to write down one Christmas memory starting with the youngest member of the family and going to the oldest. Each member will add their own memory of Christmas to the piece of writing. Send the writing in with a photo attached (if possible) and it will be posted on a bulletin board in our school.
For Example:
I love the smell of cookies baking (George-Age 2). I remember Santa bringing me presents (Sam-Age 5). I remember our family making homemade stockings and hanging them on the fire place (mom). I remember my dad reading the Christmas story out of the Bible on Christmas Eve (dad).
100 Book Challenge: CONGRATULATIONS to Austin Gibson and Courtney Carter! They have also reached their 100th steps with 25 hours of reading! Hooray! Many more readers are getting close!Thank you for continuing to review the skills and strategies on the cards. By now, your child should be able to read for 2 15 minute periods at home, or maybe even 30 minutes in row. Thanks for your support.
Language Arts: This week we will be reading and talking about Christmas traditions and other winter holidays. We are working on reading and writing blends, such as sn, sp, bl, br, pr, tr and long and short vowel spelling patterns.
Math: We are going to be learning something new with “Frames and Arrows.” This is a fun way to work with addition and subtraction patterns.
Social Studies: We will be discussing ways that families celebrate holidays around the world.
