Hi families,
Our students came back from Thanksgiving vacation rested and ready! The next few weeks can feel like a "push to the finish" in many ways, but our students are focused and putting forth great effort. We will work to maintain this feeling of productivity right up until break as we wrap up many units of study, such as: our addition/subtraction/money study in math, learning of the lowercase alphabet in cursive, and of course our cross-curricular study of Mexico. This week our students began their research projects on animals found in Mexico. They looked to reliable web sources to identify their animal, and have set up a folder to store their digital sources. We will continue to work on this in small bites every day over the next three weeks. In math this week, we take on a unit study in money, and so far students are very excited to learn more about this! They have picked up a great base of paper money addition through our daily calendar math, but are interested in adding coins into the mix. Any opportunities you could provide them at home to count coins and bills would be extra reinforcement of the skills we are working on at school - thanks! Upcoming information: Monday - our students will participate in their first Sally Borden All School Meeting Friday, Dec. 21st - Winterfest performance 10:00 - 12:00 Dismissal at 12 noon *The after school program will be available until 5:30 pm on December 21st for those families who can not pick up their child(ren) at the 12 noon early dismissal. All the best, Mrs. Tavares
