Spelling- No spelling next week

Reading-
Story of the week:No story this week
We are still working on what to do when we come to a word we don’t know. I am prompting the kids to check the picture, make the first sound and think about the story, and then search through the word and slowly make the sounds. This helps them learn how to help themselves during reading.

Writing
We are reading about the birth of Jesus in the books of Matthew and Luke. We are working on a letter to Santa this week.

Math- We will have a test over Chapter 8 on Tuesday, December 14. Then we will do some fun Christmas math.

Religion- We are still going through the events of Jesus’ birth.

Social Studies- We are learning all about Christmas this week.

Things of Note:

We will be going to St. Scholastica on Monday, December 13 at 9:30 to sing Christmas Carols for the nuns. Please meet us there and join us if you can!

We will all go see ‘Tangled’ on December 15.

On Friday, December 17, the children will come to school at regular time. They are encouraged to wear Christmas clothing. We will have mass at 10:00. After mass, the Christmas luncheon will begin. The luncheon is for the children and their families. The children DO NOT return to school after the luncheon. School is dismissed after you attend the luncheon and there will not be any After School Care that day. If your child is not attending the luncheon please make arrangements to pick them up at 11:00.

My students do not need to bring their backpacks that day.
