Spelling: Our spelling pattern this week includes words with /ur/.
Reading: This week we are focusing on the skill of identifying cause and effect. We will also be examining words with multiple meanings and the same root.
Writing: We will be taking a break from our WEX unit to work on various winter-themed writing activities.
Grammar: Our focus is on past tense verbs.
Math: We concluded lessons for our current unit last week. We will spend the next two days reviewing and preparing for the test on Wednesday/Thursday. The format of the test includes written, listening, and speaking portions, which means that the test may extend over two days in order to meet with each child individually for the speaking part of the test. All students should be prepared for taking all portions on Wednesday, though!
Social Studies: We will be constructing our floats throughout the week and will be parading them around the building on either Thursday or Friday. I will take a video of our class's parade that will be posted on our blog.
Weekly Reminders
* The December Student Challenge is due by Friday.* Remember to send your child to school with appropriate clothing for outdoor recess. As the days get colder, this may include hats, mittens, winter coats, and warm pants. If your child wants to play in the snow, he or she must be wearing snow pants and boots.

Study Tip/Request
After two weeks of winter break, it is not uncommon for students to show a decline on their math fact tests. To help avoid this from happening, please continue to encourage your child to practice his or her math facts nightly. Remember, there are many different math games on our class website! Xtramath.org is another resource that is available for students to use.
The next region of states and capitals the students will be responsible for is the Northeast. The test will be late January/early February, so it is not too early to begin studying these states!
