The next 7 school days are going to be packed with lots of activities, but the highlight of them all will be the Holiday Program on Friday, December 18th. Our program starts at 10:00. Hope to see you all there. They are doing great and sound amazing!!!!!!
Tonight, Friday, December 11th is the PTA sponsored Family Holiday Night from 6:30-8:00. Come and have some fun making holiday treasures & treats.
Next week academically will be kept to as "normal" as possible. Here are what is to come:
Lead 21-we will be doing Selection 2 of Unit 3 all about industries of the Atlantic Coast. It has been great as it ties in well to our Social Studies.
Social Studies-we will continue our tour learning about locations in the SE region. Make sure you are practicing those states & capitals. The test for this will not be until after the holidays.
Math-we are going to finish up Chapter 3 on multiplying tens or 2 digit x 2 digit numbers. You are going to see the workbook for this come home on Friday with quite a few pages not completed and the reason for that is that we are doing the strategies from the book on our own paper due to the lack of space to work on some of the pages and the slow pace that the book goes for these skills I am using my professionalism to make decisions that will allow us to move lots faster as we have tons to cover and with a new series, there are always growing pains and thinking you have to do everything in it which is not always realistic. So I told the kids to use the pages as good practice over the holiday break to keep up with their skills!!!! Perfect timing. My Christmas gift to them!! HaHaHa!!!!!!!
Language-continuation of verbs -helping & linking.
Spelling-Unit 15 words
The following week with only the 2 days, we are going to do all our curriculum activities centered around the holiday season. Fun stuff. They will be watching a movie on Tuesday afternoon, December 22nd at the end of the day as a fun bonus treat. Speaking of treat, they will be able to bring a drink and a treat to school on that day to have during the movie.
Speaking of that week, they will have a guest teacher as I will not be here on those 2 days. My husband & I along with some friends have a great opportunity to go to Hawaii for Christmas so we are leaving that weekend as that is the time frame that has been set up for us. Having never been there, I am so excited and this is an opportunity I couldn't refuse. Will miss being with my family in ND for the holidays, but HMMMMM ND/Hawaii in December?????? That was an easy decision. :)
I will be giving the kids their little surprises/packages next Friday and do a little celebrating with them in the afternoon. So please make sure your child stays at school after the program in the morning for the remainder of the day.
Congratulations to Sophie, our Student of the Week. We love her Scentsy Bear and frog. Cute. Some of her favorites are: fresh fruits & veggies, music, PE, singing, crafts and Christmas is her favorite holiday. She describes herself as nice ( we would agree) and she hopes to learn more about MT History and Health this year. She wants to get more confident at math and in 20 years she wants to own her own house & car. Her idea of a perfect day is at a water park swimming with her friends.
Have a great weekend and try to relax to relieve some stress. We have talked a lot in CC meetings these last 2 weeks about how the kids can help out to relieve parents' holiday stress. If they can tell you, write "less stress" in the planner.
