LAST WEEK BEFORE WINTER BREAK.

It's hard to believe the holidays are right around the corner.  Where has the year gone? We will have quite a busy 6 1/2 days.  Our holiday party is Monday, December 22 and there is an exciting event planned for Tuesday morning, December 23 to wrap up this year and what we've been learning.

*If your child will be absent as we get closer to the break, please let me know so I can prepare some practice activities.  I always send students home with some ways to continue working on skills and concepts.

We are working on making words using suffixes (word endings) and tuning into different rules that apply. Students will read a variety of poems noticing new words, inferring word meaning and checking for understanding.  Visualizing is another strategy we will work on to increase comprehension and to work on verbal skills. Students are responding to their reading more thoughtfully proving evidence and reasoning for their thinking. We will also work on the hard and soft C sound this week (k and s) and notice patterns within words.

Maxlex, our Elf, will continue to make our classroom interesting!

My mother, Mrs. Bobholz, will be making an appearance in our classroom this week as well!

 Thank you for your continued support!
