Frozen at the Movie Theater!

December 16-20, 2019

We are truly enjoying “the most wonderful time of the year!”  The students have been working very hard this year. Their progress is tremendous! We have a busy schedule this week filled with many fun, holiday activities. Tuesday we will be visiting the high school to see the band and chorus holiday program.  Thursday is the PBIS Reward day.

We will be using Christmas stories this week to practice our Reading skills. While reading the stories we will discuss characters, setting, plot, and the sequence of the story. We will also search for sight words, compare and contrast stories, and classify and categorize the information in some of the books. Our weekly story is called “George Washington Visits.” This historical fiction helps us determine how life today is different than life hundreds of years ago.

Our Math Topic 2 will end this week. The lessons focus on how to read, write, and count numbers 11-20. Please continue to practice counting to 100, identifying the numbers, building the numbers with objects, and writing the numerals 0-20. 

Reminders:

~ Wednesday is “Ugly Sweater Day’ with a donation of $1.00.

~ Thursday is our monthly PBIS reward. The children are permitted to wear pajamas and board the polar express in our classroom. We will be watching the movie, enjoying hot cocoa and cookies, making a small craft, and coloring scenes from the movie.

~ Students will be dismissed at 12:00pm on Friday, December 2oth. School will resume on Thursday, January 2^nd.

~ While you are looking for something to entertain your child over the break… Please try to practice the sight words and our fundamental skills. (letters and sounds, rhyming, identifying numbers, counting to 100, writing 0-20, etc.) Also take time to have your child practice reading with words they can sound out and blend. 

Remember to Take some time to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the holiday season!
