"The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event.  You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?"
J. B. Priestley

We had a beautiful "spring-like" day here at LSS.  It's hard to believe that winter is coming with such warm weather.  Students jumped right back into the routine with many great stories to tell about their holiday break.

Our lesson in math today involved finding the perimeter of various shapes.  Students seemed to grasp this concept well.  We will be moving on to multiplication and division for the next few weeks.  Students will build arrays, practice multiplication number stories, work with fact families, and learn shortcuts for memorization purposes.  They will have a one-sided assignment each night for homework.

Our spelling rule relates to the consonant -le syllable and exception.  The consonant -le syllable can only be the last syllable in a multi-syllabic base word and it always has a consonant followed by the letters -le.  The letter e is silent.  When a word ends in -stle, both the t and e are silent.  Students will have a Spelling Cafe choice each night for homework.

Scholastic book orders are due on December 12th.  Our class code is HB244 when ordering online.

Have a fabulous week!  :)
