Week in Review:

-We have continued our learning of place value with adding tens and ones.  Example: 20+30=50. 

-Our mini lessons at the beginning of the week focused on checking for understanding.  We read a couple pages from a nonfiction book and then students shared what was the main idea.  Later in the week we read the book Little Polar Bear and Brave Little Hare.  This was a longer book so our story map was a bit more challenging for us.  With this book we learned the vocabulary words: embarrassed, warn, concerned, thumped, steep, and frigid.

-We have started a new science unit on motion and energy.  We have learned about how to describe an items position, pull, push, and friction.

Notes:

- May 22 will be our snow-make up day from Nov. 26.

-A reminder we go outside if the temperature and wind chill is above 0.  Please send your child with all their winter gear so they are warm enough at recess.

-Students may start arriving at 6:30 for the Christmas concert on the 11^th.  Students need to report to the band room at the high school.  Please pick them up from the band room when the concert is over.
