Hello Everyone!
Next week will be our last full week until Christmas break! In class we finished our read aloud The Absent Author which had a surprise ending none of us were expecting! We are now being detectives in a new read aloud about stolen diamonds. We are enjoying reading mystery books in book clubs, read aloud, and independently. I love to see them so excited to read new books. On Monday, we are having a Pagoni's Pizza fundraiser. If you dine in, pick up, or get delivery on Monday and mention NDLC the school will get 10% of the proceeds.
Coming up:
December 14: Pagoni's Pizza fundraiser
December 15: Family Night and Pajama Day
December 21 (Monday): Pajama day- you can bring a blanket or stuffed animal too :)
December 2 (Tuesday): Christmas colors and Christmas wear
December 23- January 4: NO SCHOOL
Curriculum:
Math: We are practicing our multiplication facts from 0-10. This week we will also be focusing a lot on solving and writing word problems.
Writing: This week in writing, we are going to be working on organizing our opinion pieces and adding in more details. The goal is for the students to have a reason and then be able to give details and examples to support their reason.
Reading: This week in reading, we are going to continue our detective work and then also see if we could use what we learned in other fiction books. Using the predicting strategies we have been working on. A lot of the students are filling up pages and post-its with suspect lists and clues and they are so excited to be figuring out the mystery.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Jenny Kocourek and Miss Raasch
