Point of View and Comparing Numbers

Happy December Families!  I can't believe we are this far into the school year... 

This week in reading,  we focused on Point of View and character change.  We read a very sweet story called.  Somebody Loves You Mr. Hatch.  You can watch a video read of the story below. 

The class worked hard on examining how Mr. Hatch's feelings changed in the story and proving why.  

Next week in reading, we will be comparing and contrasting different versions of 

The Gingerbread Man. 

I would love to have some Gingerbread cookies to decorate on Friday if anyone is interested- 

Hint, Hint!

In math, we started our unit on Comparing Numbers.  Watch this introduction video below!

They really enjoyed working in our math BUILD centers this week and there was lots of good math talk going on. 

This week we will continue with comparing numbers but in different forms. IXL is a great place for students to practice their math skills.  You can choose the grade level so you can challenge your kiddos at home!  Check it out below!

We will be working on our persuasive writing by designing and selling our own Gingerbread Houses!  It is going to be so much fun! Check out some history behind these sweet houses!

Important Dates:

Don't forget Field Trips forms for December 15th are due!  We are so excited to see our play! 

Winter Break: December 19-January 2!
