Social Studies: Hanukkah begins this Friday. During our library classes in December, Mrs. Blake will be teaching some lessons about how the winter holidays are celebrated around the world. We will also read and learn about these holidays in class too.
Science: This Wednesday we have our field trip. Thank you to CD and KG's moms for chaperoning on this trip. Please remember to pack a fully disposable lunch. It is going to be a great way to launch our science unit on animal movement.
Spelling/Phonics: We will be focusing on the many ways the sound of a long e can be spelled. The word lists are getting tricky: street, key, each, please, dear
Reading Workshop: We will be doing an extra special project in Reading Workshop called "The Twelve Books of December". Starting this week until the 23rd we will read a holiday/winter themed book and do a fun follow-up assignment.
Writing Workshop: This week we will be focusing on action words (verbs). Each day we will focus on a part of the North Pole and brainstorm the actions that would be happening there. For example, in the Toy Workshop some actions you might see are: cutting, drilling, painting and gluing.
