Happy Monday!
Well the month of December is well underway. I cannot believe it is already this far into the school year!
Last week, I sent home information on our secret gift exchange that our class will be doing. The kids have already picked a person's name that they will find a gift for. I am asking that the maximum amount to spend is $5. Your child can bring in the wrapped gift whenever they have it ready to go. Please let me know if I can assist you in any way.
For academics- we are going to wrap up Chapter 3 in math and take a test this Friday. Next week, we will be moving on to Data and Analysis.
The kiddos just finished their book club on Friday. This week we are going to focus on Author's Purpose as well as Point of view.
We have been working very hard on the research project about Native American Tribes. I am hoping to complete this by this week or next and have the kiddos present their tribe to their classmates before the posters are hung in the wall.
As always, encourage your child to read for their AR points. We have a class reward if everyone meets their goal for this quarter.
Also, I have noticed that our spelling tests are not as good as they should be. We do practice some in school, but the kiddos need to practice some on their own as well. They get a copy of the words every Monday and you can also find them on the class website.
Have a great week!
