Wow! I cannot believe how fast time is flying! We are moving very fast this week and In know that next week will go even faster! We are busy decking the halls here at school and increasing our brain strength at the same time! We worked hard on place value all week and today we introduced adding decade numbers together. We also started working on adding one or ten to a number and what that does to a stick-and-circle drawing. This is a tricky concept and we will continue to work on it next week and throughout the year. We finished up our elves and they are hanging above our lockers. If you have time, come take a peek! The doodle trees are also being finished.
In reading we really worked hard on s blend words, high frequency words and how pictures and captions help us in a story. Blends can be tricky to write so we really worked on sounding out each sound as we wrote the words this week. Thanks for all the work you do at home to help with this!
We started putting our parent presents together today and the kiddos are really excited to share their hard work with you next week. We also made some glitter trees (I can't get enough glitter at this time of the year ;))!

Please make sure to check the updates for the pages to see what we will be working on. Also, on Wednesday we will be making gingerbread houses at 10:30 am in our classroom. On Thursday we will be making sugar cookies (rolling, cutting, decorating, baking, packing). If you plan on coming to either one of these events, please let me know so I can let the office know how many people will be coming. There are a lot of illnesses going around so stay healthy this weekend!
