Happy Holidays!
I want to thank everyone for being so thoughtful and generous this holiday season. Thank you for thinking of me for the holidays. I wish you all a safe, fun, and relaxing holiday and we see you next year to start the second half of 3rd grade =)
Lunch Reminder: FORGOTTEN LUNCHES: Starting in January, 2008 students who do not have a lunch ticket or money will be able to borrow from the office providing there is not an outstanding balance due for lunch tickets. If your child forgets his/her hot lunch ticket or has used them all, he/she may bring $2.25 to school and purchase a ticket that day from the office staff. Students must have exact change to purchase a ticket; no change will be given. If a child has no lunch, no money and the parent cannot be contacted, he/she may borrow from school office, but only twice per trimester. Students will no longer be able to borrow lunch tickets from the lunchroom staff.
Upcoming Events:
We will be celebrating respect in the month of January. Please wear yellow on Friday!
Also, our December reading party will be held on the Thursday of the week we return to school. Please remember to keep track of any reading you do over break so you can join us for our classroom reading party! Thanks!
A Look at Our First Week Back to School in 2008
*Math: We will spend a week in problem solving when we return from break. We will be working with logical reasoning, as well as revisiting t-charts. We will work on 3's multiplication when we return. It's always a good idea to practice your multiplication facts over the long break.
*Science: We will continue with the remaining activities covering the states of matter. We will work on condensation, the water cycle, and physical and chemical changes.
*Social Studies: We will be starting Chapter 3 of the textbook when we return. We will explore the traditions and cultures of people around the country and world.
*Spelling; We will be on list 15 when we return from break. There will be a pretest on Monday and the final test will be on Friday.
*Reading: We will start of the year with another story from our basal reader. This story will focus on the sequencing strategy and summarizing.
*English: When we return from beak we will revisit narrative writing. Your child will be asked to write about a special event that happened over winter break. Have fun thinking of a topic to write about! We will then begin unit 3 on verbs.
Thank you for visiting our website. I hope you enjoy the snow and the time you spend with your family and friends! I will see you next year!!!
