HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

 

DECEMBER 13-17th

 Dear Parents and Students,

Our last week of 2021 together is packed with learning and fun! In reading we are finishing up Tuck Everlasting together Wednesday and finishing our books to take AR quizzes. In Math we are beginning our study of Equations and Inequalities. In Writing we are finishing our Poetry Unit and preparing for our recital on Thursday morning at 8:00 am. I will be streaming a Google Meet from our google classroom for parents that would like to see their child's poetry recital.

In addition, we are learning about the history of winter holidays. On Friday we will have a little party and watch a holiday movie along with a White Elephant Gift exchange. As a reminder, you can either add a barely used toy/game, or get something less than $15 for the fun exchange.
