Wow! Can you believe it's December already? I just looked at the calendar and saw that Tuesday was the middle of the term! Really?? Already??
We've really been working hard and stretching our minds and vocabulary. Here's what we've been doing and what we WILL be doing!
Language Arts: We are finishing up our biographies. The class did such a great job learning about some famous people. Some learned about Einstein, some about Mozart and some about Garrett Morgan. Please ask your child who they read about and have them give you some facts about that person. Our culminating activity was to write a summary paragraph or a timeline. Next week we begin our Poetry unit. Always fun around the holidays!
Writing: Boy, these kids are great at bold beginnings. We'll continue with that and go into "mighty middles" next.
Math: My math class just finished Unit 2 - Probability. We'll be starting Unit 3 - Collections and Travel Stories (working with larger numbers).
Social Studies: We've been talking about different cultures and this week we've touched on immigration. A PROJECT IS COMING HOME AND IS DUE ON DECEMBER 20TH. Please pay attention to the directions and details.
Other: please, please, please send your child with an appropriate coat for the weather. Hats, gloves, and scarves would be nice, too!
Have a wonderful weekend - keep warm,
Mrs. Humerick
