Families,
Just when I thought time couldn’t go any faster, I looked at the calendar and it will be December next week! Here is a look at our week after Thanksgiving!
Reminders:
- A special “thank you” to everyone who was able to donate to our can drive! As a school we surpassed our goal and were able to raise 4,226 items! A free coupon for bowling at Hudsonville Lanes is coming home with your child today :).
- Friday, December 2nd is a student early release day. School will be dismissed at 12:15.
- The Alward Holiday Program is on Tuesday, December 6th at 6:30 p.m.
- Now that the weather is getting colder, please make sure your child brings the appropriate winter wear–we are still going outside for lunch and end of the day recess!
Reading: We are still focusing on the characters in our story. This week we will look at the pictures to see how our character is feeling, reread to get to know our character, determine how a character’s feelings change throughout a story, and agreeing or disagreeing with our character’s actions.
Writing: We are all done with small moment stories and starting poetry! We will take a look at different types of poems and try writing our own! We will think of things we could write about and write acrostic, color, and shape poems.
Math: We will finish up Unit 3 of math. This has been a tricky one where we focus on subtraction strategies and using circle drawings, math mountains, and equations to help us solve for the answer.
Spelling: We are back to spelling and will work on the words: are, on, three, was.
I hope you all enjoy the holiday break and are able to spend some special and relaxing time with family. For anyone who is heading out of town, I hope you have safe travels! I am extremely thankful for the amazing kids and families I get to work with each day. THANK YOU for all you do for your child and for sharing them with me :).
Happy Thanksgiving,
Miss Reisdorff
