Our holiday party is coming up soon and I need 1 or two moms/dads to coordinate the party. Please let me know if you are interested.
Mrs. Lestage's last day with us will be this Friday December 2. If you have time at home, maybe have each child write her a card or letter of thank you. I will be giving her flowers which students can bring a flower and contribute to the bouquet.
Reminders:
Please send a jacket with your student as weather sometimes can be unpredictable. Please also write students' name inside so that they will be easier to locate if lost. Remind students not to share coats, hats, etc.
Remind students to wash their hands, as there are many "bugs" going around.
Please remember to send a healthy snack that your child knows is designated for snack time. Students have been known to graze through the morning and then their lunchbox maybe empty at lunch time. Remind students when to eat snacks (they may bring multiple snacks). Please be sure that they are neat and all liquids are water.
Curriculum:
Language Arts:Class Research - WorldBook Online - Customs - developing questions for parent/family reseach of customs project
Leader of the Week: Winston Churchill
Social Studies: Maps and Holiday Traditions (Please hear share with teacher if there is a special day you celebrate. we would love to hear about it)
Math: Continue with addition of 1 and 2, and comparing numbers using the tens and ones place. Problem Solving strategies:
- read the problem
- circle important numbers and info
- underline question
- ask youself: bigger or smaller answer? are you combining numbers or comparing them? (operation)
- draw a picture representation (base ten blocks, circles, actual pictures, tally marks, etc.)
- use tools to check your work (cheerios, lego blocks, any item that can be counted easily)
- explain/justify your answer by telling what you did - First, Next, Then, Finally
- Put a box around your answer and label it (ex: 13 pumpkins)
