Week of December 16th - 20th
Dear
Parents/Guardians,
Here is what is happening this week:
Reading: We are learning sounds and blends. Please review the class work with
your child each night.
Spelling: No spelling test this week.
Math: We are in Topic 6 this week. We will finish it when we come back
from Christmas Break. Please keep reviewing and returning homework each night.
YPP: Our class goal is to earn 100
“green dots” on YPP by February 15th to receive a Cupcake Party.
This week we have earned 86 green dots. These green dots can also go away, so
the students know to keep trying their hardest each time they go to the
computer lab.
12 Days of Christmas: Thank you to those who are helping with this fun activity.
The kids are loving it! Thank you to those who helped with Polar Express Day as
well!
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thank you, and have a good
week!

This week we have earned 87 green dots. These green dots can also go away, so
the students know to keep trying their hardest each time they go to the

Christmas break so that they can work on it over the break.
12 Days of Christmas: Thank you to those who are helping with this
fun activity. The kids are loving it!
This week is Polar Express week.
REMEMBER to send your child in pajamas on Friday. They may also bring a
blanket, a pillow, and slippers.
We will
have a guest read The Polar Express, then watch the movie, lounge, and drink
hot chocolate afterwards.
Thank you, and have a good
week!
