WRITING:
We are writing to inform with this story. We are also working on writing summary paragraphs. We have been working on personal narratives in writing and adding details to all of our writing. We continue to work on writing creative stories and adding more detail. We continue to be creative in our SQUIGGLE stories each week. This is where the students receive a squiggle mark, then have to draw something using the squiggle and then write about it! We are creating some awesome writing in our journals and we are exciting to do so many writing projects! We continue to work on writing Weekend Reports every Monday. We are focusing on writing a complete sentence with a capital letter, a complete thought, and an endmark. We are also learning to use graphic organizers to help with our pre-writes. With every sentence we write, we try to think of one good detail sentence to add to our stories.

SPELLING:
There will be no spelling test this week ....words will ALWAYS be placed in the Red Folder for the week. The test will be on Wed., DECEMBER 10th. On the weeks that we do not take a test, we are still working on spelling and the patterns that are created in words. There will be a pretest every other week on Wednesdays.
If your child is on a challenge list... make sure you check the Red Folder for the word list. Please keep one list at home on the fridge, and the other in the Red Folder for us to use at school. Thanks!
MATH:
We are beginning Unit 4. The main focus is on Addition and Subtraction with double digit numbers. Try to have your child log in to MOBY MAX to work on math facts. We are also continuing to review all concepts learned so far this year and problem solving. Continue to watch for HOMELINKS coming home in the Red Folder to work on and return. We are also using Fun4yourbrain website for practicing addition and subtraction. Please continue to work on money and identifying coins!
HEALTH:
We are learning about the food guide pyramid and how to make healthy choices for our lives. We are also learning about how exercise can help us to stay healthy and fit!
