Week of November 28

I hope everyone had a safe, fun, and delicious Thanksgiving. I hope everyone enjoyed all your children's hard work on their Thanksgiving writing and crafts! They did a great job! :)

This week we are finally back into normal routine. Since it is the month of December this week we have a new author of the month. This month, instead of a traditional author, it will be holiday books. We will read one a day until the winter break (can you believe it is only 18 school days away!)

In social studies, we will be learning about Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas and completing crafts and activities for each winter holiday. It should be a fun 18 days until break!

This week we will be reading "Honey Bees" in our reading curriculum. The phonics skill is long e with one and two e's (i.e. we and seed). We will also be reading longer words by splitting it into smaller pieces (i.e. tablet--tab+let). We will also be reviewing syllables, nouns, -ed words, long u, and long e words.

The high frequency words are some, family, also, new, other, and their. We are done with every word on the unit 2 list, so please practice at home!!

We will be taking our unit 2 benchmark test, as well on Friday.
