Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

12/21/12

Hello, Parents! It is my prayer that you had a relaxing day with your children yesterday! I don’t know about you, but the snow was a nice surprise, and my kiddos spent the majority of the day out in it! This week was a quick one. I have given you a few highlights below:

Religion: We reviewed the Christmas story, and talked about all of the wonderful names for our Savior.

Reading: We read many Christmas selections, and used those as our reading texts. We had to “story web” them, and find unfamiliar words and phrases.

Math: We began multiplication this week! Third graders learned how to make arrays and learned their 2’s and 5’s. Fourth graders reviewed simple multiplication and discussed how multiplication and division are related with fact families.

Art: We made presents for YOU!!!!

Social Studies: We worked with our “Getting Along” series, and talked about how friends are like apples. Some friends, we just know their “peel,” just surface things about them, some friends, we know their “flesh”, which are more intimate things, and then some friends, who are few and far between, are “core” friends. We discussed how in our classroom, our goal should be to have all of us be at least “flesh” friends, and some of us are already “core” friends. What I do know is this: This group of children are wonderful friends and we love each other very, very much!

Today: We had our Polar Express party! We had hot chocolate, two birthday treats (thank you, Ian and Jenna!!!), and popcorn, and loads of fun!
