This Week's Activities

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
