Happy Friday!
This will be my last post for the year! The next time you see this it will be 2011!
I am wishing everyone a very happy holiday... filled with family and friends.
Merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) and a very prosperous Happy New Year!

So sorry this is late! I had it done last week and saved it... then forgot to send it! Anyway, here's our info. for the week:
Language Arts: We are continuing with Poetry. This week we'll be talking about similes and metaphors. We'll also be reading some poems and answering comprehension questions about them.
Math: My math class will continue adding larger numbers from word problems and then we'll start on telling time.
Social Studies: We'll be looking at some holidays that other cultures celebrate - we're preparing ourselves for our projects!!
Writing: We've talked about "mighty middles" and are now focusing on "excellent endings".
Word Study: There won't be any word study words this week. We'll be doing some work with sight words that I see being misspelled.
I can't wait for next Monday!!! One of my favorite projects is the one that's due on Monday. I went over my expectations again today. Each line off of the web needs to be labeled. Any picture or drawing needs to be labeled. If your child had completed the poster, he/she needs to practice sharing it. Each idea needs to be explained to the class. Any questions? Please send me a note or email.
Your child needs to come to school appropriately dressed for the weather. Please be sure your child has a coat, hat, gloves, etc.
Have a wonderful week!

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
