Week 17

 Dear Parents,

                This week in math we finished up our unit on multiplication as addition and division as repeated subtraction. We had many opportunities to build array and even made an Array City. We took our assessment on Friday.

                 In writing this week we learned how to write notes and began writing a Friendly Letter. The children will get to deliver their notes and letters upon completion. You may need to help your child deliver their messages and may have to get creative as some of them wrote to Santa!

                 In reading we learned what the word culture means and discussed that there are many different cultures in our school. We then took two days to research American symbols. We chose our four favorite and picked an important fact we learned. We read about the history of gingerbread and took a comprehension check. We also got to taste a gingerbread cookie!

                 In science we continued learning about weather as we learned about severe weather through many activities, slide shows and videos. We will continue learning about weather and take our assessment next week.

 

• Please, if you have not sent in the $5 for the winter party, send it in as soon as possible. The room moms spend their own money to make a wonderful party and this money goes to help cover that cost.
• Thank you for all of you who registered for BOOSTERTHON. We need 7 more families to sign up. There is no cost to signing up.If you can support our school we appreciate a donation of any amount. This is our school’s main fundraiser, plus the children love the run!
