Wow! It’s hard to believe we are already in the month of December. Although it is a very busy time of year, we are still doing a lot of learning in the classroom.
In ELA, we have been doing a lot of Christmas writing
activities. We wrote letters to Santa
and are eagerly waiting for our response.
We are still continuing with our spelling and UFLI daily activities. Please remember to read the home reading book
sent home each week and return it every Friday.
In Math, we
started a new unit on Place Value and we got to explore the base ten
blocks. We will continue with this unit
after the break.
In Social
Studies, we are learning about “Our Local Community”. We are learning about leaders in our
community and students are taking a
closer look at themselves and the different groups they belong to within their
own communities.
In Science,
we are learning about “Growth and Changes in Animals”. We will complete the unit by looking at and
comparing different life cycles of animals.
In
Religion, we are talking all about Advent and
Christmas and preparing for the coming of Jesus. We have also been preparing for our school
mass on Tuesday, December 9th at 11:00am.
I
hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a relaxing break!
