         What an exciting time of year!  The students love telling about Christmas traditions, Santa, elves and wish lists.  We will continue to make learning a top priority amongst all the fun things happening.  I sure appreciate all you are doing at home too!

         Don’t forget to check the Lost and Found if your child is missing a coat, jacket, or anything else.  It is located in the small room by the lunchroom.  Any items left at the school will be taken to charity after December 20^th. 

         Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!  Thanks for everything!

         Hello and happy December!  Your child should be able to read the following sight words:  me, see, I, can, like, look, here, go, the, run, up, this, is, to, do.  We are reading “big books” together and it will be exciting to have them reading in their own books from our CKLA language arts books.  Please continue to have them read to you and you read to them at home.  It makes such a difference!

         In math we have been comparing items and understanding terms like same, more, fewer, greater than, less than and equal to. 

         The Lost and Found is accumulating quite a few items.  If your child is missing a coat, jacket, or anything else, please check the Lost and Found which is located in the small room by the lunchroom.  Any items left at the school will be taken to charity after December 20^th. 

         Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!  Thanks for everything!

         We have such a great group of students and each child is progressing and contributing to our class.  Thank you for your support at home. 

         In Language Arts, the students are recognizing, isolating, and writing spellings for short vowel sounds and consonant sounds.  They can distinguish between similarly spelled words by identifying the sounds of the letters that differ.  For example, peg, pig, pin, pen.

         In math, we are learning about how to make ten when adding on from any given number by using objects or drawings.  We are also learning how to “compose” a number by using two sets to make that number.  For example, seeing ten cubes as eight red and two blue will prepare students for thinking about 8 + 2 = 10.

         The Lost and Found is accumulating quite a few items.  If your child is missing a coat, jacket, or anything else, please check the Lost and Found which is located in the small room by the lunchroom.  Any items left at the school will be taken to charity after December 20^th. 

         Enjoy your week and take care!
