Tis the season to both give and receive. The Hartland Elementary School is involved in various charitable projects, and your help is always welcome. First of all, we have a coin drive to benefit David’s House. This is an organization that supports families whose children are seriously ill and are patients at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. We will be collecting both spare change and metal can tabs (which we will exchange for money) until Christmas.
It is also the final week of the Hartland Christmas Project. We are collecting gently used clothing, games and also non-perishable goods.
Thank you for your generosity!
Note: The holiday concert is Wednesday, Dec. 14th. The students will meet in our classroom at 6:15pm and should be picked up from the classroom following the concert. See you there!
Reading: We are finishing up our Eric Carle author study. This week we read Pancakes, Pancakes! and The Grouchy Ladybug.
Students have been reading in partnerships and are learning to retell stories to one another using details such as character, setting, and plot.
We are reading a classic, Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne as our class read-aloud.
Writing: Students are continuing written responses (book reports) for each Eric Carle book that we read.
We are also focusing on handwriting work. *Please emphasize neat handwriting on the homework. We notice that some students are not working to their potential with regards to handwriting on homework.
Spelling: Patterns –ot, -op, -og sounds and word identification
Math: Telling time to the half-hour and frames and arrows problems
Math you can practice at home: Telling time to the half-hour
Science: We are learning about where our food comes from: farm to table. This week we learned about agriculture, and more specifically, the origin of peanut butter and bread.
Keep up that reading at home!
