From Ms. Glass- Room 4
     Parents, it was a pleasure to meet with each of you at conference time to discuss your child's progress. It is very encouraging to listen to your care and concern for your children's education. Thank you for all your help at home with daily reading logs and homework!
    Language Arts: We are reading The Lady With the Alligator Purse this week.
These are the skills we are working on:
     Diagraphs: sh, th, ch
     Cause and Effect: Tell why it happened.
     Fantasy and Realism: Real or make-believe
     Sequence: beginning, middle, end. What happened next?
We will be taking the Integrated Theme Test During the week Dec. 15-19.
Please help your child prepare for the test by reviewing with them the material in the
red folder that will be sent home on Tuesday.

     This week we are beginning our math unit on geometry. The students will be learning to identify and compare shapes. Please practice reviewing the shapes with your child using the shape flash cards or objects around your home.

     On Tuesday, Dec. 16, the students will be making graham cracker houses decorated with frosting and candy. Each child is asked to bring a small bag of candy to help with the decorating.(Hard candies are best.) If you would like to come and help with the project please return the form. Thanks!

    
Important Reminder! Students need to complete their homework                 packets with a parents signature and return by Friday!


    Give yourselves a pat on the back!
