It's December already! Time flies when you're having fun! 

 

Things are going very well in class! This past week we read in our REACH magazine about the Great Wall of China and the clay army found in the tomb of ancient Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang Di! About 2,000 years ago, each clay soldier was painted in bright colors. Scientists use computers to show how the soldiers may have looked! These clay soldiers were discovered in 1974. I wonder if any of our students will be inspired to make archeological discoveries of their own one day!

 

This Thursday students will have computer lab time for our second test for our second round of MAP testing.  Please make sure your child has a good night's rest and a healthy breakfast to help them prepare for testing on Thursday morning.

We are on spelling week words 3.3. The Spelling City program is ready! Our spelling test will be on Thursday.

We will have retakes for the mid chapter checkpoint math test on division on Monday. Please continue to monitor your child's homework for understanding of division. We will have the final chapter test on division at the end of the week.

We will continue to work on our California Books this week.

Mrs. Yoho will be joining us for an Art Docent presentation and project on Wednesday!

Continue to have your child read nightly. Even though AR goals are not required in our class, students still need to stay on top of reading and taking AR tests when available for their reading selection.  We have passed out coupons for prizes in the library, and awards will be on display in our classroom for students who earn 10 points or more.  

I will send home information about our holiday celebration soon!

Thank you so much for all of your help and support!
