Reading:
This week we learned about summarizing.
LG: Students had a Latin/Greek test and will receive new words on Monday (12/5).
Spelling: Students received new words on Monday. Please note that these words should always be in your child's binder in a sheet protector if you'd like to practice with them. We will test on 12/8.
Writing:
We are writing our own winter versions of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Grammar:
This week we learned about complex sentences (dependent and independent clauses / subordinating conjunctions).
Projects:
Students are continuing their 51st state project. We are hoping to be done before Christmas break.
Misc:
December 22 is the last day of school before our break.
We will have a fun-filled day on the 22nd. In the afternoon we will exchange Secret Santa gifts, watch a holiday movie, and have popcorn/hot chocolate. I LOVE this time of year!!
Secret Santa:
We will have a Secret Santa gift exchange on the 22nd. I will have the students draw names on either the 8th or the 12th. Keeping a secret for too long is hard! However, I do want you to have time to get a gift. The gift limit is $5. We will brainstorm ideas and share our interests with each other the day we draw names. If you cannot purchase a gift, please let me know. Also, if you know you're going to be gone the 22nd, let me know so your child's name is not in the secret Santa drawing. I will send out more information as this time gets closer.
