I can't believe it is already December!  Only 3 weeks until Christmas break!

Reading:  Last week we presented our author studies.  Your student also received a new spelling list and will be tested on these words this week.

Writing:  We are starting a new writing project researching Christmas in other countries.  Each student in our class is paired up with a student in Mrs. Windriver's class to research their country.  Then they will write their papers on their own.

Grammar:  We are learning about abstract and concrete nouns

Projects:  We are finishing up our 51st state projects.

Misc:

Christmas break is December 22-January 4

We will be having a secret Santa gift exchange.  More details to come soon.
