It is hard to believe December has already arrived. We have a lot to look forward to this month. This Friday is our field trip to the HOP. We will be getting in the holiday spirit in our classroom through books, crafts and activities. We will have a holiday celebration with our Reading Buddies in Mrs. Ziegler’s class. On December 14th, at 6:30pm, we have our holiday concert (more details to come).
These are just some of the festivities we have to look forward to during this festive time.
Enjoy!
Reading: We have been doing an author study on Eric Carle. Books we have read so far include, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Greedy Python, Mister Seahorse, and “Slowly. Slowly, Slowly,” said the Sloth.
We are reading Magic Treehouse #7, Sunset of the Sabertooth, and discussing the Ice Age.
Writing: Students are writing written responses (book reports) for each Eric Carle book that we read. We are discussing character, setting, and plot.
Spelling: Patterns –at, -an, -ad sounds and word identification
Math: Even and odd numbers, and adding and subtracting on the number line
Math you can practice at home: Review of even and odd numbers and problem solving (ex. “Lucy has 7 pennies. She lost 3 pennies. How many pennies does Lucy have left?”)
Science: We are learning about where our food comes from: farm to table.
Homework:
Keep up the good work, and keep up that reading at home!
Word of the week: “we”
Sincerely,
Mrs. Craft
