Week of December 14-18

We will be going to Brunswick zone for bowling this week!  If your child would like to buy a snack that is great, however, please make sure your child only brings about $5 since they are truly there to bowl, not just eat!  

On Friday, we’ll take another field trip to see E.T. at the Ogden 6 theaters.  There will be no food provided at the movie.  We’ll eat lunch in the classroom before we leave.  It should be fun!  

Coming up this week:

Spelling:  We are taking a break from spelling this week!

Reading & Language Arts:  We’re continuing our culture and traditions unit.  We’re close reading The Night Before Christmas and doing a little Christmas around the world project.   Students are making a poster on the country they’ve been assigned and presenting to the class in the coming week.  Don’t worry, this is totally done at school.

Keep reading for 20 minutes a night!

December reading logs are due January 5^th.

Also starting in January, we will be focusing on non-fiction menus.
