Good afternoon,

We had a wonderful and busy week!  I am sure the students have been telling you about all the silly things our Elf, Sparkle has been doing! Please take a look at the pictures below and ask your child all about it!

In math, we are working on using the 'counting on' strategy to solve addition with sums to 18. We also sorted shapes by different attributes.

In writing, we are working on writing 4 or more sentences.

In science, we talked about things that tell us winter is coming and activities that animals and people do in the winter.

In social studies, we drew maps that had to include landmarks. The students then had to explain why they chose these landmarks and justify their thinking.

In reading, we are continuing to retell stories, make personal connections, and build our sight word recognition. 

We had a virtual visit from the Earth Rangers. We got to meet and learn about so many cool animals!

In art, we made Ugly Christmas Sweaters! There is also a song that goes with it!
