Monday Memo

November 30, 2015

 

 

Dear Parents,

 

I hope everyone had a great holiday!! We had a busy two days last week! We went to the care center and made holiday placemats with them and then played cards. We worked on a variety of Thanksgiving activities! On Tuesday, we took our Science test. The results were sent home with your child. Clown faces were put on the kids during art class on Monday. This week will be about preparing for the Christmas program on Thursday. Reminder that it is at 7:00 at the high school, on Thursday.

 

We are continuing on our “That’s Amazing” theme in reading this week. Our story this week is another version of the classic Cinderella tale. This version is entitled “Cendrillon”. I will be reading a lot of versions of Cinderella throughout this week. We will also be working on the following skills:  Vocabulary, Comprehension, using a Venn Diagram, working with the suffix –able, and fantasy and realism. Our grammar skills this week are over the use of main and helping verbs. As always, we will continue to work on a daily SRA. Our spelling list for the week is attached to this memo.

 

We are working on our second module in Math. This module has us working on conversions using the metric system. We also do a daily review and a multiplication sheet each day. Keep working on those important facts each night.

 

Social Studies is what we will be starting on this week! We will be working on the Southeastern Region of the United States. As always, if you have any artifacts or brochures from that area, please feel free to send it with your child and they can share it with us!

 

Just a reminder that on Mondays, the students will be bringing home DOGS (Daily Oral Geography) that will be due on Friday. They can use any resource to answer the few geography questions. Those that hand it in on time, have their names on it, and get it perfect, will be in a drawing for a prize each Friday. Thanks for looking for that and helping with that!

 

As always, please feel free to call me with any questions/concerns!

 

Have a great week!

Chris Mallen
