This week, our class will continue learning about the holiday celebrations of different cultures (Italy, USA, Hanukkah. and Holland).
Thanks to all of you parents who are continuing to encourage your children to read for 20 minutes or more each night. If students finish their baggy books before they've read 20 minutes, they may reread them to practice fluency or they may read other books from home, etc. Most students have finished the "little purple books" and flashcards. After the holidays, I will send home other little paper books for some of those students (and their parents) that have asked for more.
On Friday, December 16 at 10:00, the students will be participating in a Christmas concert which will be put on by the school. It will be in the gym. First grade students will be singing two songs. Parents are welcome to attend, if they wish.
December 5 - 9
Our Unit 5 math pretest will be Monday, and our test will be on Tuesday. This week, we will begin our Christmas Around the World activities. Remember that if you have something from another culture that your child could bring to share, we would love that! Also, if you or a family member would like to come and tell us about one of the countries, please give me a call so we can make arrangements (231-4358). This week, we will learn about France, Germany, Africa, and England. Next week is Italy, USA, Hanukkah, and Holland. Happy Holidays!
