Report Cards

We will be moving to online report cards this year.  This will help us save much needed money for other uses within the school.  At the end of the day on December 17^th, PowerSchool will allow parents to log in and see their child’s report card for this first term (see directions below).  Your child’s report card can be printed or saved for later viewing.  For those that feel they need a hard copy, please contact the office for this request.

The last week of School December 16-19 we will be having a SPIRIT WEEK: 

Word Work:

In word work time we have been exploring the short vowel sounds and making words using these sounds. We have also been noticing all of the sight words that do not follow this pattern and we call them JAIL WORDS!

Here is a fun short vowel word game that helps with practicing these sounds:

Writing

After learning lots about the Prairies and life in the past we read the book: If Your Not from the Prairies by David Bouchard

We brainstormed all of the landmarks and characteristics specific to prairie communities.

We then started writing using descriptive words to enhance our writing using model sentence starters following the "If your not from the Prairies"" pattern from the book. 

Next week we will do some art and write or final peices about the prairies. 

Math

Today we played a math game to help develop and solidify our adding and using doubles to add more efficiently:

Ask me if I can explain how to play!!
