READING
On Friday we began our favorite holiday book, The Polar Express. As we read the book students formed their seats in the line of a train and got their very own ticket to get aboard. We enjoyed hot chocolate as we worked on a vocabulary page after the story. Also, at the end of the story each child received their very own bell. See if your child can tell you the significance of the bell. We will be discussing the book, particularly main characters, setting, problem, and solution. Students will be doing a web quest in the computer lab. They will have nine choices to choose from that needs to total 25 points. Ask your child what they are doing for this project. December book reports are due 12/20.
LANGUAGE ARTS
Students have been working very hard on their adjective books in class. I can't wait to see the
final product. This project will be due Tuesday, December 18th.
SOCIAL STUDIES
We had brief introduction to the Revolutionary War. Ask your child what they have learned so far.
SCIENCE
Students will demonstrate that air occupies space. We also will demonstrate that air occupies
