Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Today, Mrs. Neese had a great lesson to go along with the Rudolph book and our Character Counts meetings.  Ask your child what the lesson was all about and what their homework is for next week.  Unfortunately, I think there are many examples of this happening around us on a daily basis.  If they can tell you about the lesson & next week's assignment, write Rudolph in the planner.
Measurement-today we started measurement in math.  Learning the 3 benchmark fractions really helped us measure lines & things on our desks today.  If your child can tell you the 3 benchmark fractions, write them in the planner.   Tomorrow, they will partner up with someone in the room and measure objects around the room at 13 different stations.
Social Studies-we have finished our tour of the SE region and as we listened to facts & information for 10 different places of this region via a CD, students were to mark the locations on their individual maps along with writing facts about each place.  They will be allowed to use these for Part 1 of the test so hopefully they were paying close attention and marking their maps as I was marking a whole class map.  Sort of like an open book test (kind of like middle & high school) it pays to pay attention and take good notes.  Then on Thursday, they will have Part 2 of the test which is the states & capitals portion along with their location.
Reminder of 2 things on Friday-The Christmas Program at 10:15 & 2:00.
The Christmas Stroll from 6-8.
Also, Friday is the last day for Food Drive collection.  Continue to give generously.
Have a great night.
