Happy Thursday!



Can you believe the holidays are almost here? We're really trying to keep a regular schedule for the class...hoping that will keep them focused!



Here's what we'll be doing:



Language Arts: We'll be reviewing our "mock" MSA tests we took. I think it will be a great exercise to see what/how the answers should be. We'll also be reading and writing some haikus. We've been reviewing alliteration and similes this week.



Math: We're continuing with perimeter and area. If your child did not do well on the telling time quiz, please review this skill with him/her. Also, continue practicing those subtraction facts... I can really see improvement!!



Writing: Lots of the kids are beginning to write poetry since we've been talking about it. They continue to enjoy writing during Writer's Workshop.



Word Study: No words next week!



Cursive: n and m



I will be sending an email out in January for anyone who wants to volunteer in the classroom. I'll be redoing my volunteer calendar then.
