This week we are working on illustrations for our reports, but today we did our monthly writing prompt.  The student's had to write steps on how they took care of someone or something.  In Reading, we read "The Country Mouse and City Mouse" and discuss generalizations we could make about the country and city.  For Skills Block we went over vocab and made flashcards and talked about the soft c & soft g sound (ex: place, page).  In Math we are making quilts using 2 colors with patterns.  We will be talking about dimes in our Math Skills block this week as well as reviewing addition and subtraction.  In Science we will start talking about Earth Structures. We will be doing testing on Thursday this week due to our Holiday Party on Friday, so please have your child study vocab and spelling on Wed.  

I am still looking at ideas for the party but plan on getting cupcakes, chips, drinks, and crafts.  We will also be making nutter butter reindeer cookies.  It should be a fun time!
