Happy Hanukah! Welcome to our final week before break. It may be only 5 days, but it is a very full 5 days. Read on to hear all about our very busy and very festive week ahead.
Math: More of making 10. We will make 10 using the commutative property, with one addend being an eight (which means we will have to borrow 2 from the other addend), and solving problems with parts of 7, 8 and 9. Really, it's all about teaching children how to add by turning an addend into 10.
Language Arts: We did not get to spend a lot of time on last weeks story "Did You See Chip." The children kept asking, but our schedule was super busy. Therefore, this week we will stay with the story and the spelling that goes with it. We will probably take our spelling test on Thursday. We will also read books about Hanukkah.
Social Studies: Hanukkah is our third and final holiday of study. We will once again be focusing on who celebrates this holiday, why, and how. On Friday we will celebrate what we learned about this Jewish holiday by playing the dreidel game and making latkes.
Please remember, if you have signed up for any items for Friday you can bring them in anytime this week! Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Christmas Craft morning! Your donations make this morning possible. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who came in on Friday morning and helped us with our crafts and our gingerbreadhouses! Your help in immeasurable and I appreciate you so much! Pictures of our morning are below.
Canned Food Drive: A total success! Our class brought in 65 (around there, may have been 63 but at the time of this writing I cannot remember which it is so I'm going with 65 😀) cans of food! The children were so excited to put their items in the cart and at the end they had a surprise from a very special guest....Santa. The looks on their faces were priceless. Check out the pictures below. Altogether Marshall gathered nearly 2,000 cans a food, and that is a huge holiday win! Thank you room 9 families for your contributions!
