Week of December 17-21, 2018

Dear Santa...

Tickets! Tickets Please!

It is hard to believe the year is already coming to an end. The students have been working so hard this year. Their progress is tremendous! We have a busy schedule this week filled with many fun, holiday activities. Wednesday we will be visiting the high school to see the band and chorus holiday program.  Friday 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 Math Topic 2 will wrap up this week. The unit focuses 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:

~ Students will be dismissed at 12:00pm on Friday, December 21^st. School will resume on Wednesday, January 2^nd.

~ Outdoor recess continues throughout the winter. Please dress your child appropriately for the cold weather.
~ Please remember to practice the sight words and fundamental skills over the break. (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.
