What a busy week of learning! Our Africa brochures came out FANTASTIC!  I was so excited to display them last night at our Literacy Night.  Our class worked so hard and it really showed!  I hope you were able to enjoy them.  Today we did a demonstration with magnets. Ask your child which magnet was the strongest.  Then see if they can remember how many paperclips it was able to pick up. 

Reading Workshop-  We will continue our unit on nonfiction. This week we will begin our research on Holidays Around the World.  We will research a specific country and how they celebrate the winter holiday.  We will then create a brochure for our country.  Our fourth grade reading buddies will help us create a craft from our country on Thursday.

Writing Workshop-  We will focus on nonfiction writing. We will work on writing our brochures for our Holidays Around the World research.  

Science/ Social Studies-   We will begin our unit on maps. We will focus on cardinal directions, map keys, and how to read a map. 

Math-   We will wrap up our unit on three digit place value and we will begin a review of math concepts we have learned this nine weeks. 

Class Celebrations- Jillian and Juliana will celebrate birthdays this weekend.  Happy birthday to both of you!  Christian, Tyler B., and Caitlin all lost teeth this week! Congratulations!

Our Class Party- Our class party will be this Thursday from 1-2.  We would love help setting up for the party as well as help with the individual stations.  Soooo, don't surprised if you come  and we put you to work 

Talent Show- If our child would like to participate in the Talent Show, forms are due on December 15. Just make sure you turn in the forms to the front office by Tuesday.
