We had a great
week before our official winter break!
In Math, we worked
on solving different types of story problems called problems with unknown change.
They are a little challenging, but the students were catching on well. We also
learned a new game called Cover Up.
The students
played with a partner and decided upon a certain number of chips to use. Next, they
would hide some chips and their partner had to guess how many chips were hidden
based on what they could see. It was a fun game!

In Social Studies,
we learned about different holidays around the world. We read about several
holidays and discussed which holidays we celebrate.
In Writing, we
wrote a December Senses poem. We brainstormed the five senses and then the
students used them to complete the poem. They were sent home in their backpack
folders.
We had a great PJ
day before vacation and did some fun holiday activities.

We also made a
special gift for all of our parents! I hope you like it!
Have a wonderful
holiday and vacation with your family!
I can’t believe it
is almost 2013!
