Dear Parents and Students,
This week we are going to relax a little with various activities and spirit days. On Monday we wear PJ’s to school. Tuesday is dress as a Christmas Character day. Wednesday is Twin Day, and there is a Movie buy-out for the afternoon. Thursday is Nav’s Gear day. Friday is Red and Green day. We will also be skating Friday afternoon.
Our class will have a Christmas Party on Friday morning. During the party we’ll be watching Because of Winn-Dixie. We will play a gift exchange game. Each student needs to bring in a present from the dollar store. It should be wrapped. If you would like to send in some food or drinks for the party, you may.
I would like to congratulate all of our students for doing so well in their Literature Circles. We read a whole novel in a little over 2 weeks. This week we will be doing some projects to wrap up the novel unit.
In Math we will have a Quiz on the topic of Adding and Subtracting. That will happen on Thursday. We’ll also have a Bible test on Wednesday. Students have a test prep page that we completed in class.
Grade 3 spelling words: way, these, niece, might, show, float, brain, mean, close, tried, cube, uniform, stayed, price, usually
Grade 4 Nifty Thrifty Fifty Words: continuous, valuable, nonliving, forgotten, swimming, unpleasant. (This week I will also test students on “transfer” words. These are words that will use the same patterns as the Nifty Thrifty Fifty words.)
I would like the students to complete the listening, reading, and quiz of 2 more books this week on Raz-Kids. Students did very well last week. Congratulations to Brianna who is the closest to completing her level!
Have a great week. I’ll post this letter on our class blog.
Mr. Lee
