I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! The party 3A had on Monday was
great - fun food, fun games, and great crafts. I want to thank all the room
moms and volunteers for their help.
We are now in a time of waiting in great anticipation for the birth of
Jesus!
Can we ever really grasp the true understanding of God, the creator of the
universe, becoming a man and walking with us on earth? Advent is the time
for us to prepare our souls and minds and really contemplate the
incarnation. Wow, God actually was here!
This Monday there will be an all school Jess Tree Ceremony at 2:15, please
come if you can make it.
This week’s upcoming tests:
Thursday-
Unit 10 Dictation Test
Ch7 math test, with focus on 7.5 and 7.6 (This test will be averaged with the
other Ch 7 test on 7.1-7.4)

*Tentative* Reading test- A Cloak for a Dreamer (Regular Test)
Math
We are starting Ch 7 on telling time, reading timelines, and calculating
elapsed time, reading calendars, as well as problem solving where you need to
find missing information.
Reading
A Cloak for a Dreamer, with the skill on inferencing.
Please stress with your children that the vocab. foldables are graded. I
look for: correct spelling of the vocab. words, six-word sentences, correct
punctuation, neatness, correct definition, and part of speech, as well as the
sentences making sense while using the vocab. word correctly.
Religion
We will begin learning about the liturgical calendar, which beings anew on
Advent. We will also learn what Advent means and why we use the Advent
wreath.
Grammar/Writing
We will begin Unit 7 on adjectives and finish our parables for writing.
SS
3A saw a great clip describing government to how our school runs . We will
finish up this semester learning about our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and
Government in SS. I will continue to use Discovery Education Streaming to
enrich this great subject matter. It is a paid educations website that has
great video clips and fun lessons.
Spelling
Unit 10
God bless!
