I hope you all had a restful holiday filled with family and friends.

We are coming back full swing and keeping our brains growing!

This week I will be benchmark testing kids to get an accurate level for their reading records. They will be bringing home self choice books. If they have trouble help them and/or read to them. If it is an easier book, have them read it to  you to increase fluency and expression.

We are working on words that have an -ed ending and how the endings sometimes sound different. (walked, played, started).

In writing we will begin a Christmas themed class book. In their independent writing we are concentrating on spelling words and writing more details.

In math, we are continuing addition and subtraction and adding surveys and data. (Graphing and recording).

In science we started talking about Reindeer facts and we will be learning about Christmas traditions and facts.

If you have any questions concerns, or information for me please let me know 🙂
