The holidays are upon us, which is very exciting! We do have lots of curriculum that we are working on and will continue until the end of the quarter!
Reading Logs this week will be for only Monday through Thursday, 80 minutes of reading time required.
Progress Reports will be coming home this week, missing assignments will be highlighted. All late work will need to be turned in December 14th.
Reading Lunch Club will eat together this Friday. :)
New home assignment for the month of December is coming home this week. This is by far my most favorite home assignment of the year! Scholars will be memorizing the poem, "Twas the Night Before Christmas". We will be working on this in class, but the bulk of memorization will need to happen at home. Scholars will have a copy of the poem at school and at home. I will be sending home information and the poem today.
