The week of Dec. 13- 17

Only 4.5 days left this semester!  It has flown by and I am so proud of how much the class has grown academically, socially, and behaviorally this quarter!  

ELA--This week we are having fun reading Holiday books and doing various arts and crafts!  Look for a Gingerbread house pop-up coming home today! It might be a keeper to hold on to as the Gingerbread Man has a special person's picture on it! :)

Phonics:  Long o and Long u with the magic e on the end.  

Heart words:  don't, other, put, use.

Math this week--We are finishing Chapter 4 on subtraction from 20.  Our math test will be tomorrow!  The kids will be bringing home their Math Book 1.  We will begin the Math Book 2 in January.

Last week we enjoyed doing a STEM project by making a bed for Goldilocks out of  notecards, straws, pipe cleaners, and tape.  The only requirement is the bed had to be off of the floor.  The kids did a great job!  If your child is not pictured, several were gone that day.

Math:  Subtraction to 20.  Today we had a difficult concept breaking down the subtrahend we were subtracting to make a 10.  We worked on this together and the kids began getting the concept.  We did the homework together.  It's much easier to just count back we found out!  :)
