Notes
RACK Project
Each December we read the book Ordinary Marys Extraordinary Deed.
This book is about one girls random act of kindness and how it sets off
a chain reaction of good deeds. For the month of December I am
challenging each family to do one RACK (random act of caring and kindness) Project. Click here to read the book online and see some ideas to
help get started. I will be asking students to bring in the paper RACK
form and send in (or email) any pictures of their RACK project. We will
be making a movie of everyones RACK project that we can watch on
the last day before break. ALL RACK PROJECTS ARE DUE BY
TUESDAY DECEMBER 16th.

FLEECE BLANKETS
As a class we will be doing a class RACK project where we will be
making fleece blankets to donate to Motts Childrens Hospital. It is
easiest to make these blankets when the fleece is pre-cut and we have
one adult (or more) to help with each blanket. Please click here to sign
up to help purchase the fleece or volunteer your time to help students
tie blankets on Thursday, December 11th. If your family would like to
make an additional blanket to donate, please bring the blanket to school
by Friday, December 12th and I can take all the blankets to Motts Childrens Hospital after school on the 12th.

GRINCH DAY
We will be celebrating Dr. Seuess The Grinch Who Stole Christmas on
Friday, December 12th. Please be on the lookout for a sign-up to
donate special snacks for this day! Students are encouraged to wear
Grinch gear or red/green. Look online for easy, fun ways to dress up
Grinch like.

HOLIDAY PARTY
We will be having our Holiday Party on Thursday, December 18th from
9-11am. Please be on the lookout for a sign-up to volunteer for this
fun day.

BIRTHDAYS
We celebrate half birthdays, so we are starting to celebrate summer
birthdays this month. Ill put in the Week at a Peek which days we
will be celebrating birthdays in case you would like to send in a birthday
book.

Curriculum Corner
Language Arts
Reading: Students are learning to think and talk about the books that they
read. You will start to see many sticky notes in the books that your child
is bringing home. Ask about the sticky notes, they showcase what your
child is thinking and feeling about what they are reading!

Writing: We will pick a character this week and start to write a series.
Students will need to use the same character and write book #2!

Math
We are continuing to work on Math Unit 4. This week students are
working on doubles (2+2, 4+4, etc.) and combination of 10. If your child
is not secure on his/her combinations of ten, play penny plate to work on
the facts. If your child is successful with combination of 10, use 20 or
more pennies to increase the difficulty.
