Update!

It's been a busy time! Here's an update on what we're working on as well as housekeeping items.

Housekeeping
  • The water fountains have been removed from classrooms. Please ensure you send your child with a water bottle. We have a cold and hot water tap to fill up bottles.
  • Indoor shoes, please!
  • The next pizza lunch is December 13. Please use cashless payment system. 
  • December 22 is Festive Outfit Day. 
  • Used Clothing Drive - if you would like to donate gently-used winter clothing, please send in. We have a box assigned to our classroom.



    The Good Stuff and Colds! 
    • Cold and coughs. We've all been a little under the weather with colds, coughs, infections, viruses, etc. We've switched desks, cleaned out, thrown out, recycled and I will wash all the desk tops this week.
    • Perimeter quizzes have gone home. Please sign and return.
    • Area quizzes - a couple of students have been off so we are allowing them time to finish their quizzes before I send them all home.
    • Science - Pleasantville projects are mostly complete. Waiting for a couple of students to finish as they have been absent. 
    • Coyote slide presentations - marked and ready to go home. Waiting for a final one due to absence.
    • Writing - Personal Narratives are still underway. We are working on writing interesting sentences that grab readers' attention. We are using Google Docs for final product. Love how they have been working hard on their writing pieces! 
    • Health - Working on healthy and fit kids - mini posters on Google Slides. 
    • Reading - comprehension strategy for December is "Adjust Reading Speed." Slow down, re-read. Go back and read again if you don't understand. We are reading a variety of fiction and non-fiction to support content areas. 
    I believe that's all for now.
