Welcome Back Everyone!

I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving as much as I did! We would like to welcome
our new student Hailey. She has just moved here from Kentucky. So when you
see her, please give her a big ILE welcome!

This Friday is the last day to turn in items for the adopt-a-family program.
Nothing was turned in today, so the list that went home last Wednesday
is still current as to what is needed. Thank you in advance for helping a
family in our community during Christmas.

We are reading a folktale, Two of Everything and will focus on understanding
characters and summarizing the story. Our spelling words have the vowel
digraphs -ee and -ea. In language we are learning to write friendly letters
and will be writing a letter to Santa this week!

We will continue our unit on subtraction with regrouping. Our unit test
will be next Monday. Tonight the math homework is extra practice with
this skill.

Next week we will begin our social studies unit, Christmas Around the World.
As part of this unit, students will pick a country to research. They will prepare
an oral report and a special project about that country. A note about the project
will be in Wednesday folders along with the country your child chooses. If your
family has a special connection to a particular country, and your child would
like to select that country, please let me know. There projects will be due
on December 17 for girls and December 18 for boys. If you have any questions
after the paper comes home on Wednesday, please let me know.

Tuesday - Read 20 minutes and write 3 sentences
Wednesday - Wed. folders and read for 15 minutes.
