Upcoming for December: We will take an overall test in Words Their Way (spelling), to regroup students appropriately. We will also be taking the district mid tests in reading and in math (DVELA/DVMA). When you receive your ‘Student Snapshot’ in your child’s report card in the first week in January, you will receive the updates on your child’s scores.

We also continue to study traditions of Thanksgiving : origins, Pilgrims/Indians. This will finish this week.

Math We will continue adding and subtracting numbers to 20. We will sometimes do this with word problems and in sometimes in sentence form. WE ARE CONCENTRATING ON “MAKING TEN” to do our addition, and then taking away from that ‘ten’ to subtract. Module 2…Lessons 19-23 this week.
