Hi Parents,
I'm writing to you from home today! Every year, I take a personal day at Christmastime. I keep my boys home from school (shh!) and we bake all day long. We make all the cookies I baked with my own mom growing up. It's one of my favorite days of the year because I am able to connect my boys to memories of my mother. 💜 I hope you have a special Holiday ritual in your family too. :)
Just a quick update for you this week...
Timeline Projects Due December 4th:
Your child's "Look At Me Now" timeline project is due Monday. Please send your child's project to school with him/her on Monday. The kids love sharing their projects, and I'm excited to see their creativity on display!
Inclusive Schools Week:
Next week is Inclusive Schools Week, which is a time to celebrate our public schools as environments in which all students are invited to learn, regardless of educational, emotional, or behavioral challenges. We will welcome a guest reader, who will share a story and lead a discussion about the importance of including everyone in our learning environment.
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
We are headed to the city this weekend for some Holiday culture and fun. Enjoy your weekend! Next week, the cold weather is coming!

Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
- Reading: We will continue or Word Detectives unit, in which we learn strategies for solving tricky words. We will discuss the questions good readers ask when they read a story. We sometimes call this "wondering".
- Writing: We will respond to writing prompts and self-chosen topics as we continue to practice capitalization, punctuation, spacing, and letter formation. We will add a bit of "seasonal spice" to our writing with some Holiday themed projects.
- Math: We will finish our addition unit. We will begin our subtraction unit, in which we explore subtraction as the inverse of addition.
- Science: We will finish our study of economics: wants and needs, goods and services, consumers and producers. We will begin to talk about communities. We will talk about the community helpers who provide goods and services within communities.
