December 3 - 7

Tourism Day was a huge success!!  The students had a great time being presenters to all of the 1st, 2nd and 4th graders that came on a tour of the states.  Your child will be bringing home their folders with all of their research later this week.  I'm very proud of how hard they worked to be ready for their presentation.

We then walked to the high school to film our skit. The kids had an amazing time learning about the green screen and how the high school turns our acting into an amazing production.  Stay tuned.  I'll keep you posted when we can show our performance to you. 

In your child's Monday folder you will find a letter outlining our next big project, International Festival.  I will be walking the students through this entire project.  What I need from your child first is the name of the country he or she would like to research.   The country is decided upon by your family's heritage.  If your family has more than one, let your child choose which one he or she would most like to research. 

Don't forget to vote!!  There are still 15 more days left of the voting period.  Please help our school by texting 1044pbf to 95248 or by voting at www.vote232.org.   Thanks for all your support and effort!

Reading-  We are continuing to read about forces of nature as we practice fix-up reading strategies. 

Spelling- The spelling lists this week contain 'multiple-meaning words.'  The final test will be on Friday.

Math-  We will be completing our unit on multiplication facts with a test this Friday.  Please have your child continue to practice multiplication facts at home by using flash cards or fun websites. 

Writing-  The class will be starting a new writing assignment this week.  They will use their five senses to describe Christmas. 

Social Studies-  We will finish our mapping unit this week and begin to learn about our International Festival project.

Earlier today I sent a sign up for our classroom cocoa party on the 20th.  If you missed it, then you can find it here.    www.SignUpGenius.com/go/4090B4AA8A6283-margheims/1991412  Thanks for helping to make our party memorable for the kids. 

Have a great week!
