Happy Grinch Days!

 Happy Grinch Days!  We had so much fun this week.  We wrote about ways to make the Grinch grin, we played Grinch toss in math, we made Grinch Grime, we read How the Grinch Stole Christmas and compared the Grinch at the beginning of the story to the end of the story.  We sang You're a mean one Mr. Grinch.  We made Max reindeer hats and then completed our week with our Grinch Party!  Learning the FUN way!

To all my Families:  However you celebrate this holiday season, enjoy your time together and don't forget to READ, READ, READ!

Happy Holidays!

This Week...

Now that we are back on track with a full week of school next week, we have a busy schedule!

We will have homework and word study this week.  We will continue with the reading series and do what we had planned for this past week this coming week.  That includes comparing and contrasting and s clusters.  

Our holiday focus will be around the mean Mr. Grinch.  We are going to brainstorm a list of ways to get him to grin and use that for our writing.  We will also compare the Grinch from the beginning of the story to the end of the story.

We will make the Grinch, make our Whoville trees and even do a science experiment and make Grinch Grime!

We will also do some extra special gift making this week!

We will finish off the week with our Grinch party!  If you have signed up to contribute, please send in your item as soon as possible!

Many thanks, stay safe ( more winter weather this weekend??)  and please let me know if I can help you in any way!

This week...

This week....

PLEASE send your child to school Monday and Tuesday in their black or yellow bottoms.  If they are already at school, they will change when it is time for the show.  They will also change into their shirt.  We will do 2 performances for the school.  Monday @ 1:30 and Tuesday @ 9:30.  Your child should report back to school Tuesday night between 6:30-6:45 for our night performance.  They need to come to school that night in costume!!!!!  

We will continue with reading groups.  This week we will focus on clusters with s, sn, sw, sm, etc..  We will also work on comparing and contrasting.

We will continue to learn about maps.  We will look at maps going from our county, to state, to country, to continent, and then to Earth.  We will also look at the symbols for Washington, D.C. and Richmond.

We will focus on subtraction.  We will do this through playing games and completing subtraction problems.

Reminders:
PLAY on Monday and Tuesday!!!
Interims going out on Thursday.
Items needed for the following week...I will be sending home a sign-up sheet on Monday with your child.  Please sign and return if you can help us.

Many Thanks,
Mrs. Beltz
