We've had a great first week of December and accomplished quite bit! We only have 2 more full breaks until the first Winter break.
Important information:
- We are still collecting coats for the coat drive so I encourage you to browse through your closets and donate!
- If your child will be away at all between now and break or right after break, please let us know.
- Our art morning is going great! We've done it two times now and I'd love to begin giving students more options with materials. We will do water color and paint, but I'm also interested in trying oil pastels. If you would like to donate a box to the class to be used this year, we would greatly appreciate it (6 sets is ideal)! Here's a link to an example:

3, 2, 1 things you need to know about this week:
This was Inclusion Week and we spent lots of time talking and sharing ideas about how to help our friends who struggle in different learning areas, how to be a good friend and be kind, how we could welcome a new student if they joined our class, and also taking time to recognize how we are each unique and special and sharing with others to learn how we are the same and different. Here are 3 book titles we read this week: The Invisible Boy, Tom's Special Talent, and A Walk with Vanessa. *Ask your child which book this week they really enjoyed and why.
2 math activities we worked on were identifying fractions and naming them through numbers and words by creating fraction flags of our own color and denominator choice.
1 literacy activity we worked on was Art in Reading. This week, we focused creating a project that showed examples of friendship from the books that we read independently. * Ask your child which book they picked and how it showed an example of friendship or being kind.
Here's our work today...
