Holiday Tradition Project
Students are bringing home information today about a holiday project.  The paper explains all about it as well as a page for the students to fill out.  This project is due on Monday, December 14.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Reading - We will be reading Aero and Officer Mike this week.  It is a non-fiction story about a police officer, Mike, and his K-9 partner named Aero.  We will be comparing this selection to Officer Buckle and Gloria.

We will continue to work on recognizing the main idea and details in a story and we'll focus on identifying the author's purpose in stories we read.

Everyone has been given a December reading log.  The students voted to have a Crazy Clothes Day for their reading reward.  This should be interesting!

Grammar focus will be on irregular verbs.

Math - We have begun a new unit on Measurement.  This week we'll be measuring to the nearest inch, foot, and yard as well as centimeter and meter.  We'll also learn to make reasonable estimates.

Reminder - I'm still missing a few report card envelopes.  Please return it if you have not done so.  We'll use them again for next trimester's report card.
