I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and enjoyed the week off. When we go back we will be very busy practicing for the Christmas Program. Your child should have brought home a song sheet with songs that are to be memorized. Hopefully they are working on that as they will not be having song sheets the night of the performance.
Advent begins on November 28. Please talk to your child about the season of Advent. It is a time that we prepare for the coming of Jesus. We will be talking about this in Religion class.
Curriculum remains the same. In Language Arts we are in Level 3 with our readers. We are reviewing short a, i, and o. We will learn about short e next week. We are also reviewing contractions, compound words, endings of s, ed, and ing, cause and effect, categories, sequencing, predictions, digraphs th, ch, sh, and wh, and comprehension. In Science we will be finishing up the ecosystem. In Social Studies we will be finishing up the Native American unit and will talk about Christmas customs in other parts of the world. In P.E. we are working with jump ropes. In Math we are still taking timed addition math tests whose sum is up to 12. In the Math workbook we are going into a unit on place value. In Religion we will be talking about Advent and Christmas.
