We have been working so hard on our writing. Today we wrote about where would be a great vacation spot for Mrs Claus and what would be the most special gift we could ever recieve. Last week we wrote about being compassionate and also an application to work as one of Santa's reindeer. We also wrote letters to our pen pals in Texas and gave them a Christmas greeting The students are getting better at sounding out the words and using the words of the week in their writing. We will have a great colleciton of writing in our folders!

We have also been working on addition and subtraction. It would be helpful to play any games at home with dice to have your child practise adding up the numbers.

We are also busy practising for the Christmas concert next week. We have an afternoon performance at 1:30 and in the evening at 7:00. We sure are looking forward to entertaining you.

This week is our last spelling test before Christmas. Don't forget we are dismissed at 2:00 on December 22. Have a great week!
