Wow! The last week before winter break is here. I cannot believe how fast time has gone. They do say "Time flies when you are having fun" and I guarantee we have been having some fun in class!
I have a few reminders for you this week:
The choir concert will be in the South Gym Tuesday evening at 7pm. You are more than welcome to come listen to these wonderful singers we have!
Our secret gift exchange is going to take place on Thursday. Please have your child bring in their gift by Wednesday. If you need ideas with this please let me know!
We are also going sledding Thursday afternoon as part of our Winter Party. If you would like to bring in a sled you may bring it in any time this week. Sleds cannot go on the bus.
As for academics this week we are working on mean, median, mode and range. We are practicing these skills through many different activities. For reading, we are working on critical thinking and manipulating words through a strategy of "Hink Pinks." This is fun and challenging for the kiddos. There will be no spelling this week-which the kids have expressed excitement about :)
As you may know, I have been focusing on Kindness the last week or so. I am trying to show that there are always opportunities to be kind to others and to take advantage of those opportunities. I have noticed a change in how the kids treat each other (in a good way) and I hope to extend that through the rest of the school year.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and enjoy spending time with family. Your kids have truly been a delight to have this year. I look forward to seeing them January 3rd!
