It is hard to believe that we have only one week left of school before break. The children have been on their best behavior trying to earn money to buy at the class store. We started to pay more attention on getting classroom chores done because the students are getting checks for how hard they work. Many children are sharpening pencils, keeping their desk extra clean and the floor picked up.
We have not had much turned in to sale and could really use some more items.
Reading: Many of the students have passed off all of their Fry Phrases. This is allowing more time for the parents helpers to work with children who need more help. Thank You parent helpers. I try to test the children each Friday on how fast they read. Every child has improved and most of them have doubled their words per minute. The children who passed off their Fry Phrases have made the most progress. Please parents help them with these list. They can be found on my web site and some children have been bringing them home.
Math: We finished our base 10 unit and have started on money. This is a hard unit for many children and any extra help working with real coins at home would benefit the children.
Social Studies: We are working on the continent Europe.

Dec. 2nd
We are going to have our Christmas store in 2 weeks. If every child could bring somethings that you would give to the DI to sale at our Christmas store we would really appreciate it. You can start to bring these items to school.
Reading: We started our new December Reader Theaters and refined our summaries. We wrote about something we would see at Santa's house. We are singing lots of Christmas songs to help with fluency. Our word chunks we were on this week were "at. ake. ame, ail, ain, and ate".
Math: We worked on place value to the 10's. I felt like we still need some practice so we have not taken the test yet. Hopefully this week we will be ready.
Social Studies: We are starting our unit on Europe. We did a map study and took the temerpatures of different cities in the world.
Science: We wrote about our favorite moon phase.
