We will have no new spelling unit this week.  We will continue with short stories as well as concentrate on our concert song.  In Math, we will continue with the measurement unit.  You can still work on skip counting with your child this will help develop an understanding in the times tables.    
     In Science we will be presenting our habitat project to parents on December 20th....this will be the first presentation (8:45 am) for students so please mark it down on your calendar.  Please return the notice of the Celebration of learning so I know how many parents are coming out.  A big thank you to parents who came out and helped out with the skating fieldtrip!!  

Winter Concert-December 19th two performances one at 1 p.m. and an evening performance at 6 p.m.- Students should be in their nice clothes with a Christmas hat. 

A Reminder about Show & Tell
Show & Tell this week students are encouraged to bring one "mystery" item to share. Classmates will attempt to guess what the hidden item is by asking questions. Show and Tell items are encouraged to be "made" things, "science" things, "found" things or things related to the theme being studied at the time (TOYS ARE NOT ALLOWED). Pictures are a great way of sharing an event, family member or a pet (due to allergies NO real pets will be allowed in class). If your child is sick for his Show& Tell day, he/she will get to make up his missed day as soon as he/she returns to school. If your child forgets their Show& Tell day, he/she will be encouraged to share (Tell) about something as part of his turn. Children who forget will not be given the opportunity to "make up" Show & Tell.

Library Day is on Wednesdays however students will not sign out  books because of the Winter break and the concert schedule.
