Newsletter small medium large 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! REMINDER: There will be no newsletter next week.
