Review
of our week:
We
have been doing some fun Christmas things.
In math we started Chapter 5. We are working on related facts. For writing we wrote letters to Santa. We also made gingerbread people to send to a
class in Michigan. We are excited to
send them and see what we get back from them.
We also made one for ourselves to do a really fun project. I have included the information.
Homework:
I
know this time of year is very busy.
Remember to have your child keep reading. Please encourage your child to fill out a
tree right after they are finished reading, so you don’t have to try and
remember at the end of the month how many days they read.
Flat
Gingy:
We
made gingerbread boys and girls this week.
Your child brought theirs home yesterday. I have included a letter about a fun activity for your family to do with Flat
Gingy during this holiday season. It
says to take a photo of an activity you do with him or her. You can take as many as you would like. You can have your child fill out the paper or
you can do a write up for each picture.
Do whatever works for you and your family. Have fun with this activity. If you are familiar with Flat Stanley, this
is kind of like that. We will be doing
Flat Stanley at the end of the year. I
will keep what you send and put it in your child’s portfolio. If you have any questions, please let me
know.
Book
Orders:
I am sending home the December Book Orders.
There are some really fun books. If you
would like to order some for Christmas, please let me know and I will keep them
for you. The orders are due by Thursday,
December 8. You can also order online.
