It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I hope you all enjoyed a beautiful snow day on Friday. The Christmas concert has been rescheduled for Monday, December 14th. It’s hard to believe that our Christmas party is next Thursday.
December 17th Party Agenda
1:30 PM - Classroom and Gym Set Up
2 PM - Kid's Food Basket Representative & Snack Pack Donation Assembly in the Gym
2:30 PM - Mrs. Matlosz vs. Mrs. Nyeholts Class Gym Games (4)
2:45 - 3:15 PM - Refreshments & Classroom Celebration
* Clean Up as kids get ready to leave
If you have already given money to the kid’s food basket for the snack packs, thank you so much! If you would like to still give money there is still time, just send it in to school and I will make sure our room moms get it. Thanks again to Kristy and Laura for all of their hard work!

Math: We are finishing unit 4. We are doing many activities with graphs and answering questions using skills such as place value and multiplication. We are also taking timed multiplication tests. Please check your child’s weekly report to see how they are doing!
Language Arts: We just finished the anthology “King Wacky”. We had a great time pretending to be King Wacky, writing a letter saying the opposite of what we mean. We also continue to revise and edit our writing. Currently we are looking at our writing and trying to zoom in on a certain moment and write as much detail as possible to describe that moment. We also had a great time at the first AR store. The kids get points for every test they pass and at the end of the month they can use those points to get prizes. Reading with a fun incentive!
Science: We continue to look at the earth and the materials that we find. We focused last week on soil and what makes up soil. This week we will be looking at how precipitation can make an impact on soil.

Dates to remember:
December
10th: Secret Santa shopping. We will be going first thing in the morning, so if you would like your child to purchase items, please remember to send money with them this Thursday.
14th: Music concert at the High School auditorium. * Students 6:35 in the choir room * Concert time 6:45 PM
17th: Class Christmas Party. Thanks again for all of your donations. Your generosity is amazing!

Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions, comments, or concerns.
