December 3-7

Hi Families,

Tourism Day was a huge success!!  The students had a great time being presenters to all of the 1st, 2nd and 4th graders that came on a tour of the states.  I hope your child showed you his or her completed folder and was able to teach you something about the state in which he or she researched.

In your child's Monday folder you will find a letter oulining our next big project, International Festival.  I will be walking the students through this entire project.  What I need from your child first is the name of the country he or she would like to research.   The country is decided upon by your family's heritage.  If your family has more than one, let your child choose which one he or she would most like to research. 

Don't forget to vote!!  There are still 16 more days left of the voting period.  Please help our school by texting 1044pbe to 95248 or by voting at www.vote232.org.
Thanks for all your support and effort!

Reading-  We are continuing to read about forces of nature as we practice fix-up reading strategies. 

Spelling- The spelling lists this week contain 'multiple-meaning words'.  The final test will be on Friday.

Math-  We will be completing our unit on multiplication facts with a test this Friday.  Please have your child continue to practice multiplication facts at home by using flash cards, or fun websites. 

Writing-  The class will be starting a new writing assignment this week.  They will use their creativity in writing about what it would be like to live in a snowglobe.

Social Studies-  We will finish our mapping unit this week, and begin to learn about our International Festival project.

Have a great week!
