Families,

We have a busy week with our Holiday Program on Tuesday. I cannot wait to see everyone dressed up and hear their beautiful voices! Take a peek at what’s ahead:

Important Dates/Reminders:

• The Alward Holiday Program is Tuesday, December 5th. Please have your child to Fellowship Hall by 6:15 (doors open at 5:45) as the program will start promptly at 6:30.
• Scholastic orders are due by 4p.m. on Wednesday, December 6th. Remember, if you would like your order to be a holiday surprise, please let me know so I can set it aside for you!
• Santa’s Secret Shop will begin the week of December 11th (more information to come).
• We will have Popcorn Friday on Friday, December 15th.
• We will have a special “Grinchmas” day on Thursday, December 21st. Students are encouraged to dress up with staff as Whoville characters and will get to enjoy some special guest readers!
• Our holiday party will be in the afternoon on Friday, December 22nd (more information to come).

Reading: We will work on inferring. We will make conclusions about how they feel, look for clues in the text, and see how a character’s feelings changed throughout the story and if they learned a lesson.

Writing: We will continue working on opinion writing. We will look at how to write our opinion in a letter format and how we can organize our ideas.

Math: We will begin chapter 4 where we will learn about teen numbers and how to group 10s.

Spelling: Our words are: with, they, at.

Enjoy the weekend,

Miss Reisdorff
