Hello families and friends,

This morning we started our day with some reading.  Then our buddies came over and we did some buddy reading with them.  Then we had gym.  We continued doing Drum Fit and our self assessments.  Then in math we did some problems.  Ask your child about this.

We had Fun Lunch today.  Then we went to the Learning Commons to do some more work with the map.  We learned about animals that migrate and where they go to.  We also learned that Beluga Whales are almost as big as the map! After mapping we did some science.  Ask your child what they learned about.

Next week is Parent Teacher Interviews.  Registration for times is open.  Most of Thursday evening is already booked, but there are still a lot of times available for Friday morning.

Tuesday, December 9th, is our Christmas Concert.  Remember to check out Mrs. Jones or Ms. Jackson's blog if you want to practice the songs at home.

What is the difference between a domestic and wild animal?  Post your answer in the comments below.
