Homework

We have a math worksheet for homework, which is more subtraction practice for Friday's quiz.  Our word study quiz is also on Friday.  You should have received the green sheet of paper yesterday telling you about our gingerbread house activity on Dec 14.  Thanks to all of you who volunteered to help that day!  I also will need some assistance putting houses together before the 14th, so if you are free on Dec 11 or 12, please let me know.  Thanks so much!

Homework/ Important Dates

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break!  We have several quiz dates this week, as well as math homework each night.  Please continue to practice subtraction with your child at home.  It has been a tricky concept for some of them, so extra practice is always helpful!  We have a subtraction quiz on Friday, Dec 1.  We also have a word study quiz Friday.  Our continents quiz is tomorrow (Wed), and they should be able to label the 7 continents and 5 oceans.  They brought home a worksheet last night that is a helpful study guide for that.
