I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving week. It was nice to sleep in and enjoy time with family. I love that we are about to be in December. Love this time of year!
The next three weeks are going to go by quickly! We have a lot going on.

Math
We will spend the rest of the three weeks over subtraction with regrouping. The kids need to be able to subtract in all place values. Most of my teaching will be in word problems. Please have your child practice their math facts up to 20. Example: 18-9= or 12-5=? Some kiddos have been pretty good with their math facts. If they are looking for a challenge, they can practice skip counting by threes and fours to get ready for multiplication in the spring.
Reading
We will spend some time in traditional literature. The kids will learn the characteristics of this genre and know the different kinds of traditional literature. This is a fun genre! I'm finishing up my mid year running records. Please know once the kids get in the higher levels (K and up) they will spend a good while in these levels so they can dig deeper and work on their comprehension.
Writing
We are finishing up our poetry unit. The kids are having a lot of fun listening to different kinds of poetry and writing them.
Science
Get our those dusty rocks. I never knew that teaching rocks could be so exciting for the kids, but they love this unit. We will discuss the properties, how are they similar and different, etc. Feel free to have the kiddos bring any cool rocks they may have.
