Well, we made it to Winter Break!!!! It has been a super duper busy month and I hope you are all hanging in there--even if it's by a thread. I know I've felt a little overwhelmed lately...but that just makes a little time off even more rewarding.
Students have finished their graphing unit in math. The post-test scores were great! Nice job kids! The next unit will begin when we return...we are focusing again on adding and subtracting double and even triple digit numbers! We are to work with numbers to 1,000. The work will go smoothly if kiddos have a good foundation of their basic addition and subtraction facts. We really want them to know those facts. If they know them in their heads...then the proceedural part of adding won't seem like so much work! If you have questions, just ask for clarification!
When we return in January, we will spend time wrapping up our unit studying communities in reading. Our next story will be Jamaica Louise James. Ask your kiddo about that story!
We really enjoyed our last day before Winter Break. We did a nice job during the all-school showing of Rio. The movie is great and follows the themes of the story The Great Kapok Tree.
We also did a nice job during the all-school sing-along. Students were presented with their special Brubaker gifts at then end of the day. Thanks, Mr. Lord, more making sure that is arranged for all 700 students!
Please enjoy your time off with your kiddos! I hope you get to see family and celebrate the season. I will miss them, but I also look forward to family time at home during this time of year!
See you all next year!!!! Mrs. S. :)
