Dear
Families,
Wow, it is already December! We have a busy month ahead full of great
learning opportunities, singing, showing generosity, and just having fun. 1st and 2nd grade
students have begun singing holiday songs together every morning to kick off
the holiday season. We are impressed at
what good singers they all are! We are
hoping to put together a trip to the Woodridge Rehabilitation and Nursing Home
in Berlin this month to share our great singing voices with some of the
residents there.
This month there will not be a
new math game sent home because it is short and busy month. However, all students are working on money in
one way or another; it would be great practice for them to count any coins they
could. First graders are working to know
all coin names and their values, while second graders are working to be able to
add multiple coins together to find their value.
In Reading Workshops we have
launched our non-fiction units and both first and second graders are diving in
and loving it! We are working on “How
To” books in both first and second grade Writing Workshops. We have started our new science and social
studies unit on light and how cultures around the world celebrate with light at
this time of the year. If you have any
expertise or knowledge about a holiday and would like to come and share with
our students we would all greatly appreciate it!
We will once again have ECO
together with both 1-2 classes on December 23rd, more details about
the plan for the day will be coming your way.
