Tis the Season

With the holiday season upon us, let me wish you all a Merry Christmas! To celebrate the season, we will be reading The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. We will compare the text version with the movie version when we have finished both as well as complete a foldable and contract.
Online Questions and Activities

In math we are continuing to progress in our study of multiplication. Students who do not have their multiplication facts memorized yet will fall behind as we move into double digit multiplication and long division, so please spend time helping your child practice the facts at home. We do not spend much time at school practicing facts as it is expected that the children will learn their facts in third grade.

We will begin our first science contract next week as we continue learning about Earth's changing surface.

Thanks to all who have volunteered to send in supplies for the Christmas party on December 18. I will be contacting those volunteers shortly to solidify the plans.
