"How did it get so late so soon?  It's night before it's afternoon.  December is here before it's June.  My goodness how the time has flewn.  How did it get so late so soon?"  Dr. Seuss

We started our week off by attending the fifth grade band and chorus concert in the gym.  We were all so impressed by the beautiful music that we heard from the fifth graders.  I encourage my students to follow a musical path if it interests them.

We will continue with our multiplication and division unit this week.  Students will solve number stories, make arrays,  and practice fact families.  There will be a one sided assignment each night for homework.

Our spelling rule this week involves the double vowel syllable groups ai, ay, ee and ey.  Students will have a Spelling Cafe choice each night for homework.

Our class will be making holiday cards for local Rockingham County Meals on Wheels program. Sadly, these may be the only cards received by the senior citizens this year.  I will be stressing the importance of spreading holiday cheer and giving back to our community.  I know my amazingly empathetic class will recognize the significance of creating thoughtful cards.

Scholastic book orders are due by Friday, December 12th.

Have a wonderful week!  :)
