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.

Cyclones Game
The Cincinnati Cyclones game was a big hit with students and parents alike.
One thing I liked about the game was when the Cyclones guy number 16 hit the hockey puck in the crowd and it got stuck in the net. ~Hannah~
I really thought it was cool when they played the music. ~Tori~
One thing I liked was the awesome mascot Twister. ~Lauren~
One thing I liked was the fighting because it is exciting and a lot of commotion. Another thing I enjoyed was the dancing because I was on the big screen while I was dancing. ~Jessup~
This was a cool field trip! ~Samson~
I can't wait to go back to another Cyclones game. ~Ethan~
Our story this week is Eye of the Storm.
We are beginning our earth science unit.

Veterans Week
There will be no reading selection this week, however this does not mean we will not be reading.
;-)
There is a math test on Monday, but the science test has been moved to Thursday due to the need for review and the Veteran's Day performances.
Links to study for the science test:
The Life Cycle of Plants
The Great Plant Escape
The pictures are from are estimation activity on Friday. A beautiful morning was spent predicting and counting steps taken at Gauche Park.
