Good Morning,

  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  This week we have two rehearsals for our Winter performance.  One of the rehearsals will be Thursday morning during our station/reading group time.  We will not need a parent volunteer that day.  The other time is during our math block on Tuesday.  Please remember that the performance is Thursday evening.

  As I mentioned last week, we will be starting our unit on community and local history.  Mr. Hubbard and I have been working out the details of this unit.  Part of the curriculum requires us to work with timelines.  One of our final projects for this unit will be for the students to create a digital timeline of their life.  We will ask (at a later date) for you and your child to brainstorm 5-7 significant events that have happened during their lifetime.  Mrs. Marcelle will be working with us on the integration of technology for this unit.

  This week's homework:  There is a math game for each child this week.  Remember that the 1st graders will play the game for 2 weeks.

Reminders:

*Winter clothing needed for recess time and dry shoes for the classroom.

*Winter Sports Program on Wednesday.


I hope you have a great week.

Peace,
Tom
