Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today!

We went to library. We got books. We did ST Math. (AJ)

We did math. We stuck our hands in a “feely box”. We gave clues and someone had to guess the shape. (Russell)

We did Fundations. We did the letter j. (Isaac)

Mrs. Hotchkiss read a book to us. The book was Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus. (Maclyn) I love these books! We will be reading Mo Willems books all week!

We did math workstations. (Blake)

We are doing closing meeting and snack. We got to eat holiday gummies from Erin! (Xander and Dempsey)

We did writing. We did Monday News. (Britt)

We did Daily 5. (Madelynn)

We did morning buzz. (Brooklynn)

We did a new poem. The word of the week is “and”. The poem was about needs and wants. A need is something you need to live. A want is something want to have but you can live without it. (Carmel Grace and Ismael) A great lesson just in time for the holidays!

We did the weather. The weather is going to be cold this week. (Ismael) Make sure to pack hats, gloves, and scarves! We are still going to play outside!

I hope you enjoyed having your child read to you this weekend! Please be sure to return the plastic bag with your child’s paper books back to school so they can put these books back in their book boxes to read at Daily 5! These reading bags will come home every Friday with new book box books to read at home over the weekend. I had several bags not come back. Please look for these at home tonight! Please see Friday’s email or blog post for more detail. Thank you!

We are going to be learning about the holiday traditions of families in our class!  Take a moment to talk with your child about the holidays you celebrate and the traditions your family has each year.  We'd love to hear what special traditions your family has at this time of year!  With your child, send our class an e-mail about the things your family does each year.  We will use these e-mails to spark conversations about different holiday customs our families have.  It would also be wonderful if you include a picture or two! Please send this email by December 18th!

Thanks for helping us with this important learning!
