Dear Parent(s):

This week we begin a short unit about winter. Some of the books we will read 
this week are: The Jacket I Wear in the Snow, The Friendly Snowman, The 
Biggest Snowman Ever, Bob the Snowman, and Sadie and the Snowman. Some of the 
projects will be: sequencing a story, retelling a story, making a book about 
a snowman, making a snowman, and writing snowman stories.

In reading the shared reading book is called: Making Collages. All children 
will meet in guided reading groups and I will begin some individual 
assessment of each child for mid year assessments.

In math we will practice addition and subtraction to 12 and begin learning 
how to use a number line.

This week’s spelling packet is coming home today. The packet is due on Friday 
and the spelling test is on Friday.

This week’s homework is a winter sorting activity. It is due on Friday along 
with the reading project.

This is a computer week.

Just a reminder that children should have new supplies. Children need:
Pencils
Crayons
Markers
Gluesticks

I hope you had a wonderful holiday.

Have a good week!

Yours truly,
Mrs. Susan deGaspard
