Week ending 12/13/19

We've had a busy week in room 250!  One highlight was playing in the snow the last few days during recess!

Important information:

• Don't forget to check in with Ms. Sheehan about a CORI if you still need one.  Also, don't forget Ms. Sheehan's last day with us at Memorial Spaulding is next Friday.  
• Winter break is Dec. 20 - January 1.  School resumes January 2nd.  If your child will not be here, please let me know.  
• Heritage Bears are due on Monday and we will start sharing them in class then.  We're really looking forward to learning even more about each other!

What's happening in room 250...

3 math activities we've worked on were the game Close to 20, determining all the ways to show a number using tens and ones, and identifying a missing addend.  In Close to 20, students needed to use  3 cards to get as close to 20 as possible.  

2 writing workshop activities we worked on were... we finished up our narrative writing stories and then took a pre-prompt on an informational book.  Students wrote about a topic they know a lot about to teach another person.  Ask your child what they're topic was.  

1 special activity we had was an author visit by Kevin Hawkes.  The class really enjoyed his visit and hearing about how he works on his drawings and comes up with story ideas.
