Reading and Social Studies Next week we will be completing a unit on Holidays Around the World. The students will be "traveling" to China, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Poland and Sweden to learn about the holidays and traditions that these countries celebrate around this time of year.
Reading Logs Please continue to log minutes with your child for December.
Math We began Chapter 10, Probability. Students will predict an event as certain or impossible, describe an event as more likely or less likely and record possible outcomes.
Flash Cards Students should be working hard to memorize their addition and subtraction facts. To check memorization of these facts, we are taking timed tests. Once your child passes a set of facts, they will move to the next level. Look in your child's planner to find out what facts they should be working on at home. Here is a website you can try:

Star Student of the Week Xander was our star student of the week. When he is at school he enjoys math. When he is at home he likes to play video games with his brother Dylan. When he grows up he would like to be a football player. Xander is a star because he is an all star football player. Thanks for sharing Xander!
