As a child, I was bonkers for Christmas.  The entire month of December, I couldn't sleep at night from anticipation."  Rosecrans Baldwin

This is our last full week of school before our holiday vacation.  I'm looking forward to a fun week filled with learning, hard work and holiday activities.

Our spelling rule this week involves the double vowel syllables -oa, oe and ue.  Students will have a Spelling Cafe choice each night for homework.

We will continue with our multiplication and division unit.  Students are learning the Associative Property, Commutative Property, and Distributive Property of Multiplication.  They solved problems using arrays and worked on skip counting.

Students are working on poems titled "Spreading Holiday Cheer" to share with families over the vacation week.  They are also making holiday crafts.

Our auction will be held on Friday.  Students have been working hard to earn marbles over the past four months.  Their marbles will be used like money to purchase various gifts, prizes and treats.

Have a wonderful week!  :)
