Week of December 10^th-14^th          

Our Reading story for the week is “Little Quack”. Our question of the week is: What new things can you do as you get older? The Amazing Words for this story are: duckling, paddle, proud, pond, plunged, brave. The high frequency words are: me, with, she. The text based comprehension skill is plot. We will listen for /r/ spelled Rr. We will focus on the correct formation of Rr. Please practice reading the “Rin the Rat” decodable story. *Each decodable story can be recorded for the monthly Reading Logs. J

In Math, we will continue Numbers 11-20. We will continue using a twenty frame to build numbers 0-20 and practice writing numbers to twenty correctly.

In Social Studies, we will continue to discuss holidays around the world. We have learned about the traditions and celebrations for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. We will soon learn about Las Posadas and Christmas.

Today we mailed our letters to Santa. We had special mail carriers come to the school today. Each child placed a special stamp on their letter to Santa and mailed it to the North Pole. J
