Hello everyone,
Even with a snow day to start off the week, our class still managed to accomplish a lot this past week.

In Math, we finished off our unit on Geometry by filling Santa's sacks with 3D solids. Each student wrote clues on the outside of the sack to encourage others to guess what 3D solid was inside the sack. (Thanks to Mrs. G for this engaging activity!) Try to guess or better yet, get your child to tell you what the solid is based on the clues.

In Language, we started our unit on PROCEDURAL WRITING. We reviewed what the class already knew from previous years and we will build upon that.

We looked more closely at how diagrams (a non-fiction text feature) assist the reader to better understand a step in the procedure. The students built a paper airplane by looking at a set of instructions that had few words but plenty of diagrams to help them.
Of course, we all had to test them out!

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER.......

• Tuesday is pizza lunch for all those who ordered the special lunch.
• Thursday you are all invited to the St. Rita Christmas Concert. This event will take place at 12:30pm in the gym. WE ARE THE SECOND CLASS TO PRESENT IN THE LINE UP SO DON'T BE LATE OR YOU MIGHT MISS US!
• Please see last blog post for a list of Spirit Week days for the week on Dec. 19th-23rd.
