WEEK OF DECEMBER 14, 2009
THEME - CHRISTMAS
This week we will continue our Christmas theme. It is so full of things to
do. Last week we were “elves” learning to do kind and secret deeds. This week
we will be writing riddles and rhymes about Christmas things. We’ll read The
Reindeer Christmas by Moe Price about how Santa chose reindeer to pull his
sleigh. Then we’ll get our creative minds working and see if we can come up
with other animals that might do the job as well. Santa has always heard from
children before Christmas but does he ever get a Thank You afterwards? The
book Thank You, Santa by Margaret Wild will tell us what happens when he gets
a thank you note from a little girl. Lastly, we’ll read Arthur’s Christmas by
Marc Brown and try to think of what Santa would like for Christmas. We will
surely stay busy as this keeps the anticipation at a lower level.
MATH will be a continuation in graphing. Of course we will continue to review
the number facts through ten, both addition and subtraction. Don’t forget
those facts over the holidays for we will begin timed tests after Christmas.
HOMEWORK – Monday – A Sweet Surprise worksheet; Tuesday – Goalee Grief number
word worksheet; Wednesday & Thursday – Enjoy your family traditions and
preparations for Christmas and take the rest of the week off from homework
except for reading. Bring out some of those old traditional Christmas stories
and read, read, read!
THANK YOU for your support of our Adopt a Family project. We are hoping once
again that we are able to make a very special and happy Christmas for some
that otherwise would have none. We are falling very short this year. At this
writing we have only two gifts for Timothy and not enough cash to buy a
single item of clothing. If you still want to do something there are a few
more days! We will continue to collect until December 18th. Thanks again and
God bless!
