COLD WEATHER UPDATE
A reminder to label each individual article of clothing sent to school with your child. It if often difficult to distinguish between similar looking items such as hats, gloves and uniform sweaters. Also, any help continuing to practice independent dressing and zipper, snap or button fastening would be greatly appreciated. We are encouraging the students to practice these essential skills daily in order to foster independence as we grow in our learning environment.
Dont forget about our upcoming Christmas
Concert on Wednesday December 10, 2014 at 9:40am in the gym. We hope to see you there!

Guided Reading The students are so excited about bringing home their guided reading books and reading with their groups in the class. Please remember to keep the reading book inside the communication folder so that books are accessible to the teacher for recirculation. Daily reading lesson groups change based on the needs and abilities of each child so your guided reading book must be returned daily.

Christmas Treat Bags
A reminder that we have a number of seriours allergies in our classroom to the following foods: Nuts, Treenuts, Legumes (such as beans and lentils), and Bananas. If you are feeling festive and want to spread some Christmas Cheer, we remind you that only non edible gifts will be able to be distributed to the students in the class. Gifts such as pencils, ornaments, and stickers are always a safe idea if you choose to send home individual gifts. If you are sending home individual gifts we have 28 students in the class. We would appreciate items being labled To my friend as it helps in distribution. PLEASE NOTE: No gifts are necessary, all participation is completely optional.

Making Math Meaningful
This month we will continue our work with shapes and figures while we explore 3D Geometry. We will also practice counting and estimating the number of objects in a group as we explore numbers. Some examples of activities that can support your childs learning at home are: OPEN BOXES
HOW MANY?
Building and sorting with old cereal and
cracker boxes can be a fun 3D shape exercise. Once you have recorded all the boxes you have used help your child cut the empty cereal or cracker boxes on the fold lines and open them up. You can then discuss the different 2D shapes you have found. He or she can then practice their scissor skills by cutting on the fold lines to make different squares and rectangles and use these shapes to create a picture.
Look for everyday opportunities to estimate
and count objects together. How many (apples) do you think are in this grocery bag? Lets count to check. How many socks do you think are in the laundry basket? Lets make pairs and count by 2s to check.
BUILDING BLOCKS Building with blocks gives your child the opportunity to explore the properties of different solid shapes. You might ask, Which blocks are better for a sturdy base (or the top of a structure)? Are there any blocks that are flat on one side and curved on another side?
